For more than five years, Cuban Kitchen at 3799 S. El Camino Real in San Mateo has developed a local following looking for authentic Cuban food. However, financial uncertainty due to the pandemic has left owner Lynna Martinez looking for more business to keep her restaurant going in 2021. âIt doesnât look good for me after four to six months,â Martinez said. The Cuban Kitchen has struggled since the pandemic began with a loss of revenue and a changing customer base. Most of its sales before the pandemic came through corporate catering, but many employees have yet to return to offices. Cuban Kitchen had to replace those with individual and family orders. It lost 50% of its regular revenue through corporate catering because of the pandemic. Cuban Kitchen has stabilized to around a 20% loss of revenue because of help from its customer base and referrals.
