Take it To-Go: 8 Restaurant Takeout Essentials

  • Oct 8, 2020

The way restaurant patrons experience dining out has changed immensely since coronavirus cases have begun popping up in the U.S. Restaurants that were once packed to the brim with happy diners are now sitting empty, largely in part to shelter-in-place and lockdown orders that have seen them shutter their doors to traditional dine-in customers in the interest of public health. However, many dining rooms have pivoted to offering take-out, delivery, and even cook-at-home grocery kits in order to continue generating revenue during these difficult times. Here are a few of our favorite products for restaurants looking to level up their to-go game:
