Coronavirus is one of the most covered topics today. The quarantine at schools started on Thursday, but the decision to lock down more institutions was getting more and more popular. From Saturday, restaurants will remain closed due to Epidemic Danger State.
Restaurants close
Restaurants started to close in order to limit the number of places, where many people can meet since COVID-19 spreads. Many young ones, who now have free time, decide to meet and spend time together. It was criticized by the government – quarantine is not an additional break from school.
More and more catering industries are acting as Gigi Pizza and Morze Piwa – two of the first restaurants in our city, which decided to lockdown. Pizzerias, pubs, and restaurants are places of meetings and big congeries. Due to that fact, some of them decided to reduce the danger connected with Coronavirus. However, it does not mean that all the places lockdown absolutely. Some of them offer to deliver food or ordering it for takeout.
A break in sales can bring huge losses.
The owners are concerned about their businesses and financial problems connected with temporary closure. To reduce losses some of the restaurants started to deliver food or (like in other cities) offering takeout.
Nowadays we can order food for many ways – via applications, telephone or restaurant’s websites. It is worth considering if we want to eat a prepared meal and do not want to go out during quarantine.
How to order food online?
There are many online portals, which offer delivery such as Pizzaportal.pl, or Pyszne.pl. Most of the local restaurants have also telephone numbers published on their web pages, usually in the overlaps titles “Contact”.
To order a meal online, we should use verifies websites. It usually requires our location and the way we want to pay for it (cash or transfer). The portal should always inform us, that the order was taken.
