Community is a key element in what makes the restaurant industry thrive. And never has this been more apparent than now, as we’ve had to take extra measures to ensure this sense of community persists. 

This week on Order Up, Cheyenne Terbrueggen, Marketing Communications Manager at Elephants Delicatessen, joins us to discuss Elephants’ sustainability efforts, how they are giving back to their community, and why they expanded their business to include a wholesale program amidst the pandemic.
