Although vaccinations for COVID have begun, businesses continue struggling to remain open. Restaurants, one of the hardest-hit industries, have had to reinvent themselves in order to survive.
Stephen Martino, group marketing and events manager for Cushman Concepts (a restaurant group founded by husband and wife team Chef Tim and Nancy Cushman), discussed how Chestnut Hill s Bianca has used creativity to attract and keep customers during this difficult time.
When did you first open and when did you reopen during COVID?
Bianca was slated to open on March 19, 2020 - just days after we went on lockdown for COVID. We were finally able to open partially in August with takeout and delivery from “mr roni cups,” the Roman-style pizzeria inside Bianca. Once we had that up and running and figured out a plan, we opened Bianca fully on Nov. 12.
