Perseverance
/ˌpərsəˈvirəns/
noun
1. persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success
Day 15 of no Copine…or at least the Copine I know and love. The faces of my staff as they arrive for work each day. Our purveyors when they drop off our orders. The guests who I see on a regular basis and live too far for picking up take-out make sense. I hope you are all well, safe and hanging in there…
One has to adapt to the current climate. We have expanded our Sunday Supper program to Thursday-Sundays for the time being. Orders are placed two days in advance (Tuesday for Thursday pick-up, Wednesday for Friday, etc.) and can be picked up between Noon and 5:00pm. Every order comes with easy re-heat instructions.
We are doing everything we can in order to safely serve folks through the end of this crisis. We limit our meals to 30 per day, as we need room to cool down and store the prep for each day, as well as the completed, packaged and bagged meals. We made the pick-up window long, so our guests rarely arrive more than one at a time. Email reminders are sent and all of guests practice social distancing on pick-up. It’s so odd how much things have changed over the last month?
Perseverance is the new normal.
A way of thinking.
A state of being in these strange days.
We love you, Seattle. Stay strong and support your small businesses.
We will overcome.
