Supporting local restaurants is as important as ever

It is no secret that many of our favorite hotspots have had to adapt to a rapidly-changing world by altering the way they serve their valued customers.

If you are able, we ask that you consider joining us in a show of support for these businesses by participating in #OrderPicPost.

It’s as a simple, three-step process.

1. ORDER
 If you are able, purchase take-out or delivery from a local restaurant.

2. PIC
Grab that cell phone, snap a picture of your food.

3. POST
Post that picture to your social media platform of choice. Don’t forget to tag the business’ page. If they don’t have one, no sweat. Give them a shout out anyway.

If you feel so inclined, use the hashtag #OrderPicPost

If your financial situation doesn’t allow you to order out, no worries, you can still help. Go to the social media account for the restaurant of your choice, find a picture or a post that appeals to you and share it with your followers.

What does this do? Well, a couple of things:

First and foremost, it keeps these businesses top of mind. It helps raise awareness of all the wonderful food that our family, friends and neighbors work so tirelessly to create. This also showcases the sheer number of amazing foodservice operations in our communities.

Secondly, this helps these business owners feel the love and support of those around them. At times like this, spreading love is important.

It is also our hope these posts will also serve as a reminder that many local foodservice operations are still open and ready to help feed their communities, albeit under different conditions.

So that’s it. Order. Pic. Post. We hope you’ll consider joining us.
