4. Consultancy
Some business owners turned their attention towards applying their skills and offering consultancy services for other hospitality and leisure businesses.
5. Online Education
The initial engagement with keeping the experience alive started to develop into the creation of products that could sustain longer-term income and had the potential to reach a wider global audience online— for example, the creation of cookery schools and master-classes.
6. Plan the Opening of a Restaurant
We engaged with three restaurants during the project that did not exist before the pandemic. The lockdown created opportunities for planning and logistics for a grand opening when hospitality would open once more. Two had opened just weeks before the lockdowns. Despite the frustration of lockdown, the owners looked and planned positively towards the opening.
“We opened in November, and within just weeks, we had to close again and start offering takeaways” Lucy Howes, Co-Founder, Throwback Coffee House.
Hospitality had a further closure to May 2021
and had to find new ways
to operate in uncertain times
