TO OUR FRIENDS
IN THE INDUSTRY


As things begin to slowly reopen, it’s becoming clear that it is a very different world than it was just a couple months ago. We see the the pivots you’ve made to survive. Shifting to takeout, building meal kits, doing whatever it takes to keep the lights on and folks fed. Truly, you inspire us. As we have watched all of this unfold, we can’t help but think about the role restaurants play in all of our lives. The word “restaurant” comes from the French verb restaurer, meaning to restore. When we look at the state of our community, our industry and the world at large, it is clear that we have never needed that restoration more. We here at H&B are here to support you in that effort in whatever way we can, and we're proud to partner with the innovators at Tock for this valuable conversation.
