Eat Local: How To Support Our Hospitality Trade In The Wake Of Coronavirus

Update 23/03/20: The Government has announced New Zealand’s Covid-19 alert level has risen to level 3, and will move to level 4 in 48 hours to remain in place for a minimum of four weeks. This means all non-essential businesses must close, which includes all cafes, bars and restaurants. We commend the incredible response of Auckland’s hospitality scene over the last week and look forward to dining with them once again.

There are hard-hitting times ahead for the hospitality trade in Auckland in the wake of the Covid-19/coronavirus pandemic.

While many of us can pack up and head home, a restaurant cannot work remotely. Doors remain open and welcoming, but tables are emptying and the unforeseeable period of enforced social-distancing is looming.

Across the industry, extra precautions are being taken around hygiene, with bookings reduced and seats removed to create more space for diners eating in.

If you want to stay at home, restaurants, bars, and cafes are implementing condensed takeaway menus, available for pick-up or home delivery.

Restaurants on UberEats have the option for users to choose 'contactless delivery' where you can leave a note for your driver to leave food at your door.

The Restaurant Association is also encouraging diners to support the local hospitality industry during the Covid-19 outbreak.

“We are hearing from an ever increasing number of business that they are in a desperate situation as a result of the outbreak,” Restaurant Association Chief Executive, Marisa Bidois, says.

“With dwindling numbers of tourists in the country and local diners staying home for fear of contracting the virus many restaurants and cafes are battling to keep their doors open”

It is giving away dining vouchers for the next six weeks. Find full details here.

This list will be updated as much as possible. If you're a hospitality business owner with an offering for diners, please email Viva@nzherald.co.nz with details of your takeaway menu and delivery/pick up option. 

If you are unwell, stay home and follow the Ministry of Health's advice.
