During the COVID-19 pandemic, the team has had to adapt to the new measures implemented by the government. With a long list of customers who admire their food, it was the obvious choice to put food on delivery platforms during the lockdown. This decision has proven to be incredibly popular amongst local residents. Everyone within 3.5 miles can receive delicious freshly made pasta that stands above any of the competition. People come to Bunno not just because of the food, but because the food’s standard is so high and consistent. Providing meals in this way has done nothing to slow the team’s efforts. As the success of Bunno has become clearer, the team have started to look at other ways of reaching a wider audience. While they would love to grow to more sites, preserving what they already have must be the priority. All the permanent staff have been able to stay with the team throughout lockdown, working on flexible furlough in order to have the job for all eventually. With such care and attention, it surely won’t be long before people are returning to experience the delights of Bunno once again. Company: Bunno Web Address: www.bunno.co.uk Email: [email protected]
