And with enough profit, I was able to save money and invest in a new gas range with an oven burner, so I can bake more pastries daily. With proper research and consideration, I was able to purchase a … Continue reading I Bought the Best Affordable Gas Range with Klarna

Going Eco-Friendly with Biodegradable Food Packaging

Jeanie Ellis

— Contributed by Frances Schalk I run a small restaurant in Orange County, and ever since 2021 started, I wanted to make a change with how we do the business. And this is by being more eco-friendly with our everyday choices. 2020 was a really challenging year, especially with the whole COVID-19 situation. So with 2021, we wanted to offer a healthy alternative to our patrons by going organic with our ingredients and choosing eco-friendly food packages for take-outs and deliveries. Another reason why we’re shifting to biodegradable food packaging is because they are free from any toxins or allergens. … Continue reading Going Eco-Friendly with Biodegradable Food Packaging

We lost a lot of customers, and we had to resort to delivery to keep the business going. It was hard at first, but I was able to turn the situation around.

Restaurant Smart: Indeed a One-Stop-Shop for Restaurant Needs

Liam Lewis

— Contributed by Emma Hall The coronavirus affected our restaurant business. Good thing, my husband immediately took action, and we offered other services that we never thought we’d offer. We sold uncooked meals in packs and made curbside pick-up services available. Even if the sales were not as high as before, our restaurant was thriving. One thing we made sure is that we were wearing protective gear when preparing food for customers. I think these measures somehow made our customers trust us more. That is why we always let them know that we value cleanliness in our restaurant. Unfortunately, a … Continue reading Restaurant Smart: Indeed a One-Stop-Shop for Restaurant Needs
