0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 1>pandemic in restaurants? How is that affecting you? Guys? It

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>was hard. I mean, there's never any way you could

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>see this coming. Even though the warnings were there, we

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 1>had no idea of how deep and how drastic it

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>was going to get. You know, back back in the

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>beginning of March, I was actually with you. We had

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>dinner out here in February and February right before all

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>hell broke loose, right and um on March three, I

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>remember the date, and I'll tell you why. They said

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 1>if you're over the age of seventy five, to stay

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>inside and keep yourself away from the general public until

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the thing blows over. It was a four phase one,

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Phase two, our phase three, and we went out and said,

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>if anyone knows anyone that's staying home alone, we'll deliver

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>them a free steak dinner. And we did that thirty

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>thousand meals later, just to make sure they got food

0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 1>because they're Their access to food got caught off because hey,

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>if you're eight, you're not good on a smartphone, you're

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>not good on the internet. You're not ordering a delivery

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>service to bring you food, and you're definitely not ordering

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>groceries to be delivered to you. You You just don't know

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>how to do it. Um. So it changed my world.

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Instead of having a restaurant where people came to me

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.719
<v Speaker 1>to dine, I was bringing bringing free food to them. Well,

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>what a nice guy, right, And then we had um

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 1>and then we had people ordering for delivery. Well, we're

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a steak place. So now I got to figure out

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>how to change my whole food packaging because when you

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>leave a restaurant, by the way, you know, Asian restaurants

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 1>had had this perfected for the last fifty years if

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>packaged right, but we didn't have that packaging, so we

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>had to figure out how to pack it. So it

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>got to your house and it was hot and you

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>could eat it, and it was reasonable and it was

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 1>good because to go packaging at restaurants were doggy bags

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>until this happened. Really you wanted to get food take home.

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 1>It was the same food he took left over someone with.

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>So we had to change all that ship make it

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a little look pretty and everything. Yeah, and we had

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>to do it fast or you were dead because people

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 1>were giving you one opportunity and then if you didn't

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 1>come through, you're out of business. And I know just

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 1>a ship ton of restaurants that have just completely burned out. Yeah,

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>it just horrible. That changed. So so now we got

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 1>food being delivered all the time instead of customers coming in.

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>I sit in the middle of my restaurant on a

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday night and it's empty. There's no one eating in

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>it because they're not allowed to. All the foods going

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>out the door. What am I gonna dot my employees?

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>What I'm gonna at my staff? So we made the

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>decision early on me and my business partners to keep everybody.

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>We kept everybody on payroll. That was very nice and

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>very nice of you. You're feeding everybody, give everybody their jobs.

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 1>The smartest thing we did we formed a nonprofit that

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>we were We then raised money at a nonprofit level

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to provide those free meals, so that allowed money to

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>come in that was tax deductible. So we kept our

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>restaurants moving, kept people fed. And now that we're kind

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 1>of coming out of it, the nonprofits kind of got

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>a life of its own. So now you guys are back.

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>You guys are right. Now you're currently back open occupancy.

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>This sucks. Are you still and you still send your

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>food as well? Yeah, And we talked to me at tense,

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>so like when we went out dinner last night and

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm in awe of how l A has handled outside dining.

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>It's gorgeous. You know, back home away we got these

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.720
<v Speaker 1>big tents with sides and big diesel heaters and and

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:21.479
