Struggling B.C. restaurants offer expanded takeout services in bid to stay afloat GlobeBC
Kissa Tanto, one of Vancouver's most acclaimed restaurants, is preparing an expanded take out menu of meals available for curbside pick up.When restaurants in British Columbia reopened for dine-in business at 50-per-cent capacity, Kissa Tanto, an upscale Japanese-Italian Supper Club in Chinatown, was not among them.
Kissa Tanto is on a second floor and does not have a patio or room to expand. Instead of opening, it will try to stay afloat by expanding its takeout options with exclusive pantry items and picnic baskets – a growing trend among restaurants and a fantastic way for consumers to eat spectacularly well at home.
Even the larger restaurant groups and chains that have already opened up their dining rooms will continue their side hustles to make up for lost revenue. Joey Restaurant Group, for instance, reopened all its B.C. locations this week, but will still offer Joey Market items for takeout and delivery until it is operating at 100-per-cent capacity.
