Catering during Covid-19

I'm sure you've heard on the news that the restaurant industry has been particularly hit hard by the Corona Virus, and catering businesses are no exception. We have had to cancel and postpone events, lay off employees, apply for loans and unemployment, ask for breaks on paying our bills and figure out how to restructure our business for pickup only.


We are very lucky, however, that we have great friends, understanding clients, work partners and family who have come to our rescue with suggestions and assistance to get all of this done. We also have an experienced skeleton crew who are no strangers to stepping up in crisis situations and getting it done!


On a personal level, we have family members who have been sick, quarantined and have passed due to the virus.* We also have relatives and friends who are health care workers and front line workers. (We are sure many of you have a similar story. ) It is a very scary time but we feel lucky we have our work to keep moving forward.


Our work is valuable to us, not only as the means to support our families but also as a way to be creative, resourceful and kind. We love cooking for you and have enjoyed hearing your positive responses to our dinners and offerings. We especially love it when you share your pictures and stories with us! It brightens our day and keeps us going!


Thank you and stay safe!

Chris & The TSH Team
