As a business owner/operator in Illinois, you’ve either learned or knowingly assumed one critical risk: Chicago winters are no joke. However, if the Chicago cold and Covid-19 combination have taught us one thing, it’s that Chicagoans aren’t willing to compromise their love for dining out. Your restaurant’s experience will be sought after this winter, whether ordering takeout in a snowstorm or bundling up to dine in. 

In order to make the most of these busy winter months, you’ll want your delivery system to be sorted out and seamless. Let’s start our planning by taking a look at what the 2022 winter might have in store.

The season of giving gifts and giving thanks is approaching and our sights are set on the festivities that will take place! Perhaps we’re biased, but excellent food and drink can take your event from good to groundbreaking. High-quality, local catering will set the tone for your event and fuel your guests for a good time. So, let’s look at some celebration-worthy catering options from our restaurant partners as we head into the holiday season! 

Supporting local restaurants with patio dining and takeout was an important initiative during the Covid-19 shutdowns. It helped ease the burden of mom-and-pop places unable to serve their customers like normal.

There are still many ways to keep your community’s restaurants in mind – from savoring patio season with them to posting your meal to Instagram.
