Town of Vienna Restaurant and Entertainment Winterization Series - Part 1
Join the Town of Vienna Economic Development Department for our kickoff event on business winterization during COVID-19. We will address the "new normal" for restaurant and entertainment businesses brought about by economic and social changes of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Part I, we will focus on this main question:
As we continue to navigate the health crisis, how might we stimulate and sustain dining and entertainment services during a change in season?
We will examine:
- If outdoor dining and entertainment can help increase restaurant and retail sales throughout the health crisis
- How restaurants can stimulate and sustain dining and entertainment as we move into colder weather
- Locating funding and technical assistance to help with the expansion of outdoor and entertainment areas
- Mastering and streamlining takeout and delivery procedures
Join moderator, Jon Krinn, owner / chef / founder of Clarity, as we dive into a round table discussion with our panel of experts:
