For today's #GiveBackPayItForward, we’re featuring Bruce, owner of Salernos Restaurant & Catering located in Eldersburg, MD. COVID-19 has not only impacted restaurants, but the pandemic has also affected catering businesses who typically rely on corporate events, weddings, and festivals as their primary source of revenue. Some changes Salernos has had to endure over the last several months included selling toilet paper, meats, meal to-go kits, and more. Lucky for Salernos, ta...keout had already been a part of their business model, so they were equipped for this shift in purchase preference. Bruce shared his appreciation for the supportive community and acknowledged that social media has played a large role in awareness during these times. Some advice Bruce has for other businesses in the foodservice industry is to think outside the box and not be so worried about the negative side of things, look for opportunities to increase revenue, find a niche that somebody else isn’t filling, and listen to what the customers are looking for!
