The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has approved portions of Pueblo County’s variance request to portions of Public Health Order 20-28 Safer at Home. The variance approval pertains to increases in the permitted size of outdoor and indoor activities with guidance for gathering sizes, house of worship, gyms, theaters, bowling alleys, indoor malls, bars, wineries, tasting rooms, distilleries, graduation ceremonies, libraries, private membership organizations, indoor malls entertainment and recreation (youth and adult league and recreational ball parks, dog parks, skating rinks, museums, race tracks). One request that was not approved in the variance was allowing personal services of estheticians to resume due to CDPHE still working on a framework for this service.

Resilient Restaurants Survey
|
|
|
We need to respond to a devastated industry.
Everyone recently has experienced firsthand the impact of this pandemic on our restaurants, bars, cafes and beverage crafters, on our food and beverage supply chains, and to the lives of thousands of local food service professionals that make these systems and our cultural experiences possible.
Business owners are reinventing companies on-the-fly.
Right now we have an opportunity to consider thoughtfully how we design these businesses and related community programs with a new paradigm that embraces the spirit of intense local collaboration, that uses creativity to solve problems and advances what used to be normal to something that is more equitable, more sustainable, more profitable . . . more resilient.
Colorado is making a difference.
We’d like to introduce you to Resilient Restaurants of Colorado -
ResilientRestaurants.org
, a new program from a growing organizational partner of ours, Good Business Colorado (GBC). Resilient Restaurants is a statewide resource working group under the leadership of Director Robert Bogatin, an award-winning sustainable small business owner and restaurateur, and the Executive Director of GBC, Debra Brown. Together they are advancing the resilience of Colorado’s food service ecosystem with a strong vision and powerful outreach plans.
We feel compelled to be involved.
We are sponsoring / promoting Resilient Restaurants’ first statewide action, publishing an all-inclusive industry survey for every restaurant, bar, cafe, brewery and distillery in Colorado. This is a simple 8 minute survey for proprietors, yet very effective and is designed to give our organizations actionable data to guide our program development. The Survey had been pre-screened and approved for use by a state agency if our sample rate is significant and our responses represent Colorado diversity accurately.
Here’s how you can easily support us.
Please share this with all of your favorite spots over the next couple of weeks, AND Resilient Restaurants and Good Business Colorado are offering our organizational partners a generous donation if you are inspired by this project and present this invitation to your network of food and beverage business owners. Membership in either group is not required, but all new Resilient Restaurant members can also join GBC for free for one year.
ResilientRestaurants.org
has some immediate resources online, a growing list of member-to-member benefits, and a new series of webinars and innovative workshops starting in June, called A LA CARTE.
Please consider how Resilient Restaurants can serve your community and to support their effort to capture every voice in Colorado’s food service industry. If you’re not in F&B, Good Business Colorado programs are geared for all small business throughout that state that share our values.
If you would like to be involved, you can connect through me, or with Robert Bogatin directly. We request other organizations obtain a unique URL to promote the survey so we can better track geographic responses as the survey itself is voluntarily confidential.
