WHAT WILL DINING BE LIKE POST COVID-19

Driving through the PCH and stopping by one of our favorite restaurants in Malibu, Malibu Farm, we walked up to the big wooden doors to only find a foldable table with a cash register on it, chalk menu board and a couple of masked workers servicing the visiting patron’s and beach-front locals. With the six feet distancing rule strongly enforced, you could place an order then make your way to the sand or take it home with you, which completely eliminates the ambience that MF is known for. It made us think, how will the dining experience be post Covid-19? For the fortunate establishments that survive the financial impact that the hospitality industry has clearly taken, how will they innovate a new safety structure that aligns with an atmosphere that welcomes close proximity, shared moments and togetherness? It will be interesting to see the inevitable changes that are surely coming.
