COVID pandemic, one year later
This webinar is sponsored by our partner California Milk Advisory Board.
Restaurant Business editors discuss the coronavirus pandemic one year later and its impact on the restaurant industry—both good and bad.
The pandemic has had a profound impact on the restaurant industry, one year after states first started closing down dining rooms to stem the spread of the virus. In this webinar, RB editors look back at the impact of the pandemic on the industry, both good and bad, from all angles. Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Maze leads a discussion with Editor-at-Large Peter Romeo and Senior Editors Pat Cobe, Heather Lalley and Joe Guszkowski on how the industry has changed. They will discuss how the pandemic has influenced technology, menu, the relationship with the government and the future of independent restaurants.

She graduated from Cornell University and earned a Masters in Journalism from Boston University. She is active in several professional organizations, including Les Dames d’Escoffier and the International Foodservice Editorial Council (IFEC), and serves as a judge for the James Beard Media Awards.
