Community Conversation: Restaurants

What challenges face the local restaurant business – both before and during COVID? What are restaurants doing to stay safe during the pandemic? How do they operate with thin margins at a time when they can't be at full capacity? The Colorado Springs Business Journal hosted this conversation with five restaurateurs: Brother Luck of Four by Brother Luck and Lucky Dumpling, Greg Howard of the Pikes Peak Chapter - Colorado Restaurant Association, Luchal Lucas of Luchal's Gourmet Catering LLC, Emilio Ortiz of 503W and Colorado Springs Bartenders' Guild, and Todd Baldwin of Red Leg Brewing Company. The panel is moderated by Bryan Grossman, editor-in-chief of the Colorado Springs Business Journal. This is the fourth in a series of community conversations about managing the long-term impacts of COVID-19 on your business. The series is hosted by the Colorado Springs Business Journal. This conversation was recorded on January 27, 2021.
