Where do I begin?** This is the challenging question currently facing hospitality business managers across the world. Our business operations, understanding of the industry, and ability to anticipate consumer behavior has been turned on its head in the last few months. How do we recover, and how can we choose the right step forward?   This period of change certainly represents a challenge, but it's a challenge we're ready to overcome. We demonstrated this to ourselves, and our customers, as we continuously pivoted and innovated to adapt to the COVID world. Now, as we move into the next stage of this pandemic, it’s important for the industry to look at what it really takes to restart and operate safely to prevent a resurgence of the virus. In this course, **Michael Bascetta**, the co-founder of Worksmith and co-owner and operator of Bar Liberty, Capitano, and Falco Bakery, will share with you practical strategies to consider when restarting your business.
