Steak, Discounts, and Toilet Paper
Description (Dublin Core)
This particular restaurant on Maize Road in Wichita, Kansas, demonstrates the various strategies businesses employed to remain viable as COVID-19's easy transmission forced many restaurants to close their dine-in rooms and switch to online, carry-out, and delivery services. Along with the 15% discount for online ordering, this restaurant added the rather interesting incentive of a free roll of toilet paper for each order, thereby highlighting the acute hygiene product shortage that emptied store shelves across the United States in the wake of the virus-inspired "panic buying" that gripped the country.
