JOMO Restaurant Week

In an attempt to curb the corona virus, some local governments have mandated the closure of restaurants, bars and other small businesses. As the hospitality ind...ustry navigates the crisis, here are a few ways you can still support local restaurants. ORDER TAKE-OUT This option limits your contact with the restaurant but still ensures that money is going directly to the source. BUY FAMILY MEALS A lot of restaurants are offering daily special meal kits for pick-up and delivery. These aren’t your standard take-out meals, think micro-catering. BUY GIFT CARDS While buying gift cards doesn’t necessarily put money in the pockets of tipped workers like servers and bartenders, it does help your favorite businesses shore up their reserves now so they can make it through this uncertain time. PURCHASE MERCH Supporting restaurants goes far beyond eating and drinking. Many restaurants offer awesome merch such as t-shirts, tote-bags, hats, sauces, and even candles! TIP WELL Though you might not usually leave a tip for a take-out order, today everything counts. We’re all in this together. CHECK-IN ONLINE Picking up a to go order from your favorite restaurant? Be sure to check-in on social media so your friends know which restaurants are still under operation. LIKE & SHARE Whether you work in the restaurant industry or are simply a lover of restaurants, you have the power to be an ally in this fight. Liking and sharing your favorite restaurants updates takes minimal effort but has the potential to make an impact.
