The Responsible Restaurateurs Committee is RistoratoreTop they give their contribution, especially by addressing professionals in the restaurant sector. In recent days, the Committee of Responsible Restaurateurs had launched a petition to propose the closure of all the premises (here) and, as does RestauratoreTop, now suggests resorting to delivery, i.e. the platforms to order dishes and menus online and receive them directly at home .
In addition, by direct contact with restaurateurs, they advise chefs and restaurants to entertain their customers by working on the company, publishing recipes or advice, but also to take advantage of this break to reorder menus, cookbooks and work organization in general. An invitation therefore to reflect, reorganize the work and rearrange the thoughts and then leave, when the time comes, stronger than ever.
