A perfectly ironed table cloth, neatly laid out cutlery and a bunch of extremely alert servers – that was how fine dining looked in Mumbai – pre-pandemic of course. While the pandemic is far from over; restaurants and eateries are opening up. However, the safety protocol and the government mandate still restrict them to welcome patrons in full capacity.

As we complete one year of lockdown, the F&B sector, among others, were badly affected during the pandemic. People were skeptical to order food and some restaurants had to shut down as well. Now, slowly as everyone has started to navigate their way through the ‘new normal’, even restaurateurs and city hotels found a safe and hygienic way to serve food to their customers.
