noun

Trust. Something we all crave in these difficult times. Those of you that receive our newsletter and replied to the survey: thank you for taking the time. We so appreciate your responses.
As we begin to lay out plans for re-opening our doors for dine-in, we acknowledge at the outset that there needs to be trust. Trust on our end, that you will not come to Copine if you are unwell. And trust on your end that we do the same and that we are taking precautions over and above our normal standards.
We can agree that we live in a challenging world at present. Restaurants are a place to appreciate each other’s company and bond over a good meal. To recharge and relax and let the stress melt away…
Our team met as a whole this week and talked about what service will look like in the future. We have reorganized our dining area with the maximum amount of space between tables. We discussed ideas as far as delivering plates to tables. Directional flow in the room. What makes us all feel safe and how we can communicate that to our guests.
Our kitchen staff is on board with ideas to continue our Takeaway Supper Program in tandem with dine-in. A lot of you are uneasy about dining out, and with good reason. The next month or so should tell us a lot about consumer confidence, as well as what is working and what isn’t in the new normal.
There are always going to be things we cannot control. But we all stand together as we navigate the waters. And trust extends a branch that allows us to climb the tree to the next level. Safely.
Be well and we hope to see you in the not-too-distant future.
