The Game’s Not Up

Canlis

How can a fine-dining restaurant continue to extend hospitality during a pandemic?
The Covid-19 pandemic has been especially hard on restaurants, with many permanently closing. Canlis, an iconic Seattle fine-dining establishment, has innovated several outside-the-box business models that allow the restaurant to continue to show hospitality to guests and the community, and to keep its employees on the payroll. All of its experiments center on its true identity and purpose — bringing people together — whether over food or otherwise.
