Best Practices for the NYC Vaccine Mandate at Restaurants

About the Webinar:
Please join us for a panel discussion on what to do for your restaurant. We chose this format because we know restaurants have been flooded with information. You do not need more lectures and powerpoints. You want answers and to hear what others are doing to put a good face on things. We want to create a space for you to ask the questions you need answered for your restaurant to survive.
