Fast delivery: An opening, an opportunity and a survey

Fast delivery: An opening, an opportunity and a survey

In this new edition of Fast delivery, you will be invited to discover a new restaurant, opened in the midst of a crisis just a few weeks ago, you will know more about the new opportunity that the chef at 555 Bistro Urbain is developing and you will find the result of a survey on the possible rise in prices during the recovery.
First, we have been talking more often, since the start of this global crisis, of business and restaurant closings, bankruptcies and emergency assistance measures. There is at least one nice exception to all of this negative news: the opening of the Salam Namaste restaurant in Quebec almost two weeks ago. As the name suggests, this restaurant offers Indian cuisine. For the moment, the dining room with the “bring your own wine” formula being closed, only take-out or delivery orders are available.
Also on the menu of various media since the pandemic reached Quebec, announces new ways of doing things to reach as many new customers as possible. This time, it is the chef at 555 Bistro Urbain who is reinventing himself by announcing his intention to go home to prepare a meal for you. Don't worry, he'll take care of all this from his food truck! This is a good way to have access to a freshly cooked gourmet meal.
Finally, a recent survey of 313 restaurant and accommodation industry officials said that 58% of them do not intend to raise their prices when the dining rooms are reopened. It would even be possible to witness a price war between different establishments in the same geographic area in order to attract customers again.
