UBC Presents:
As everyone stayed home, no one was dining out. It is fair to say that the restaurant industry was one of the hardest hit by the pandemic and all its consequences. As revenue plummeted and businesses tried to stay afloat, owners and operators put their thinking hats on and showed a capability to adapt like never before. Join Shira Blustein, Chef Robert Clark and Justin Tisdall as they speak about their experiences in the restaurant industry from the past year, the challenges and the successes, and what the pandemic has changed about their businesses forever. This panel will focus on the incredibly fast-paced and equally impressive pivoting that these businesses had to perform and the struggles they had to contend with, all while maintaining operations that focus on sustainability and authenticity.
The Farm to Globe: Transforming Our Food Systems series is brought to you by the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems (CSFS), the BC Food Web, the Faculty of Land and Food Systems (LFS), and the Royal Bank of Canada. This webinar series focuses on what needs fixing in our food systems and the innovative solutions which could affect change for the better.
