25 February 2021

I would like to find out what its been like working in a restaurant (not fast food) during the pandemic?
Have you missed earning tips?
Are your tips a big deal to you?
How has it affected you?
Has it effected your work and the way you interact with customers?
How has your household money been effected?
I would love to listen to you tell me what has been important to you, working [and not working] in a restaurant during the Coronavirus pandemic in the UK.
