Even so, operators were able to adapt, respond and determine a strategy to keep businesses alive. Now that several stores are back open under certain restrictions, we are pleased to share what has been learned, along with anticipated changes on into the future. In conjunction with our webinar featuring a panel of veterans representing all segments of the industry, we asked restaurant operators ten questions focused on their response to the pandemic, including operational changes and opportunities going forward. Our team of industry experts remain committed to providing ongoing guidance and resources amid the pandemic, including these survey results designed to be used as a tool to navigate the challenges of instability amid COVID-19.
