'Many of us restaurant owners have had to be agile and creative in ways we never predicted.' One New York restaurant owner on the waves of change that have swept through her Chinatown restaurant amid the coronavirus pandemic.
after its incarnation on Canal Street was forced to close due to a rent hike. I wondered if that money would decimate over the next few weeks, or even days. Crucial think-on-your-feet decisions needed to be made in ways that would protect the health and safety of our guests and our team, and keep Kopitiam running to support our team and small business.
While brainstorming opportunities to keep Kopitiam chugging forward, we also wanted to find new ways of maintaining the responsibilities that come with the Table to Table initiative for the community. We made a late-night run to Trader Joe’s to buy dried foods to make dinner pouches and breakfast pouches for those who were affected by closures, especially on the Chinatown and Lower East Side margins where the majority of those living here are low income, undocumented, or elderly.
In moments of crisis, you’re forced to look inwards, to take a long hard look at yourself and those you surround yourself with. This situation has really made me grateful for how lucky my girlfriend and I are to have each other's support, how well we steer the course during fight or flight situations. Another silver lining, and one I also find to be a bit ironic: How grateful I am to social media.
This pandemic is one of the most challenging times we’ll ever face as an entire industry. Many of us restaurant owners have had to be agile and creative in ways we never predicted, all in the name of preserving our businesses, supporting our staff, and standing in solidarity with each other. I really don’t know where things are going to go, but we’re learning to make decisions with our gut and heart as quickly as we can.
