How some restaurants opened and adapted during the pandemic and what's next

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

It sounds counterintuitive, but according to some research, more restaurants opened than closed in Toronto during the pandemic. Data from Yelp, found by Shauna Brail and her team for the Toronto: After the First Wave project, tells a different side of the restaurant story than we typically hear about this struggling sector. As Ontario looks to reopen, we discuss what will that look like for diners and an industry that is trying to get back to normal. Guests: Shauna Brail, urban planner and associate professor at the University of Toronto Mississauga Institute for Management and Innovation and Karon Liu, Food Reporter at The Star If you would like to support the journalism of the Toronto Star, you can subscribe at thestar.com/subscribingmatters.
