Some restaurants are feeling the pressure
brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
At Waterdown’s Real Burger, the dining room is closed as per provincial orders, but takeout, delivery and curbside pickup continue. Hours, however, are limited, and some employees had to be laid off.
According to Rojin Faraji, restaurant manager and supervisor, the Real Burger team now consists of Faraji and her parents, who are processing orders and payments online.
Orders can be picked up at the Dundas Street East restaurant, where Faraji or her mom “will go outside and take their food to them.”
As far as precautions go, “we are wearing masks at all times, gloves at all times,” said Faraji, adding they are always changing gloves and sanitizing door handles and surfaces.
Leading up to the pandemic, things were going well for the Waterdown restaurant, said Faraji. Now, she feels they’ve taken a step back.
“It did affect us big time,” she said.
Real Burger is accepting online orders at realburger.ca.
