People are buying Tough Time Tickets for restaurants –
a solidarity movement
Last year, ทดลองเล่นสล็อตฟรีไม่ต้องฝาก when the pandemic began to affect business,
chef Fernando Arevalo of Preludio knew he had to do something other than
“wait to see what happens”. With no dine-in guests allowed, the situation for his
restaurant looked dire.
The solution he came up with, in addition to delivery options, was Tough Time Tickets,
which allowed diners to book and pay for discounted tables in anticipation of
restaurants reopening. An eight-course dinner at Preludio could be pre-purchased for
S$198++ instead of the usual S$238++. Within the week, more than 100 tickets
had been sold.
Knowing that other fine dining restaurants were in the same predicament, he fired up
his motorcycle, occasionally braving the rain, and went around to personally invite
other chefs to join the initiative. “It was the logical way to help my industry and to help
my restaurant at the same time,” Arevalo told CNA Lifestyle.
This time around, with the relaunch of Tough Time Tickets (TTT), “We are receiving
emails and calls from more restaurants in the island that want to be part of TTT.”
Joining up this year are Iggy’s, Art, Braci and Gemma Steakhouse, in addition to
Odette and JAAN by Kirk Westaway. Scheduled to come on board soon are Cure,
Butcher’s Block, Tippling Club and La Dame de Pic.
But the movement isn’t just about helping restaurants stay afloat financially. It’s about
solidarity within and for the industry, said the chefs involved.ent around to personally
invite other chefs to join the initiative. “It was the logical way to help my industry and
to help my restaurant at the same time,” Arevalo told CNA Lifestyle. |
