Austin Restaurants Offering Curb-Side Pick-Up and New Delivery Options Amid Coronavirus Outbreak
It’s a good idea to eat at home. But you don’t have to cook.
Austinites are avoiding crowds, minimizing contact with others and working from home as COVID-19 continues to shake up the world. Last week, Mayor Steve Adler announced a ban on gatherings of more than 10 people, closing all bar and restaurant dining rooms in the area. Some residents may have stocked up but are craving a favorite comfort food or maybe the lines and empty shelves at the grocery stores have kept them from shopping. As the Coronavirus pandemic takes its toll and restaurants take an economic hit, many are adjusting their services in an effort to earn business and serve loyal customers. Picking up your next meal not only helps local small businesses and employees but also takes a bit of the pressure off of the hardworking folks at grocery stores.
