How restaurants are innovating during the COVID-19 pandemic:
Did you know that the U.S. restaurant industry employs over 15.5 million people? That’s about 7% of all employment in the country. Within the last two weeks, nearly half of that workforce has been laid off as bars and restaurants were forced to close their doors due to COVID-19. “
