Why the CDC report will hurt the full-service recovery

Former Red Robin CEO Denny Marie Post joins the RB podcast “A Deeper Dive” to talk about the industry’s emergence from the coronavirus pandemic.

The recovery in full-service dining likely hit a big speed bump last week, when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control cited in-restaurant dining as factor in the spread of the coronavirus.

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast “A Deeper Dive” focuses on that topic, and features former Red Robin CEO Denny Marie Post.

Post discusses the potential impact and what it means for the future of full-service restaurants, particularly independents and small chains that rely on in-restaurant dining for most of their sales. She also discusses what restaurants should do to emerge from the pandemic, and the discussion goes on from there.
