Before the pandemic struck, no one could have ever imagined a world where all of our local neighborhood bars and restaurants would have to shut down. These establishments are the backbone of our neighborhoods and our economy.
Now that things are starting to improve, the National Restaurant Association has a new campaign aimed at helping get customers back to their favorite restaurants. We’ve partnered with such companies as Coca-Cola, Tyson, and Anheuser-Busch on the Restaurant Revival Campaign and the ServSafe Dining Commitment.
This week on Order Up, we’re speaking with Tia Mattson, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Communications and Jenn Morris, head of Marketing and Communications for Anheuser-Busch to better understand the thinking and efforts behind our new campaigns.
