Challenge
When COVID-19 hit Los Angeles, dine-in restaurants were forced to shut down overnight. For Benny's Tacos, this meant an immediate and severe loss of their primary revenue stream. With no foot traffic, no dine-in revenue, and the city on lockdown, Benny's faced its biggest challenge in over 40 years of business.
