We are in unprecedented times, but that doesn't mean that your business needs to navigate this new uncertain terrain alone. After all, how could anyone know how to reopen after a pandemic? We understand that you've got a business to run, so we've been watching and working with those whose economies have reopened before ours to save you some time. We've been following the latest guidelines, speaking to our peers overseas, and spending hours researching so you don't have to. Instead, watch this comprehensive course with the most relevant information to help your establishment, your team, and your customers be empowered to safely reopen in spite of the ongoing challenges of 2020.
Safely Reopening in the Midst of A Pandemic:
Developed in collaboration with the Tennessee Small Business Development Center, we have created a 4-week virtual course for owners and operators of restaurants and food service businesses to provide the tools and resources to adjust your business model in response to the global pandemic and your customer's changing needs and expectations. Learn how to think strategically and define the values that will guide you safely through this unique season for our industry and even find your opportunities for growth and innovation. This class includes two 1.5-hour weekly webinars and will be taught in cohorts as long as demand continues. The course is free through your local SBA office and each participant will have the opportunity to receive one-on-one coaching, access to industry and subject-matter experts like attorneys and accountants, along with additional tools and resources to navigate the road forward.
