• Find a business or company that is relatively inline with your intended career path if possible
• Provide a comprehensive report explain the ways that they have adapted their practices in order to allow their businesses to operate
• Come up with at least two additional ideas that you would/could have implemented to adapt to the current situation if you were running the business or able to dictate policy.

Example: Brewers Row in Port Moody

These local breweries are extremely popular and rely heavily on admission to their properties.  While some offered light snacks, their revenue is almost solely reliant on beer sales.  Consequently, they had to make a number of significant changes to their businesses in order to generate a profit.  Some of the adaptations were as follows:

• completely revamped their online services and shipping
• offered delivery
• scheduled pickup similar to grocery stores
• paired with small takeout only
• opened up sales outside only
• increased sanitary measures
• card purchases only

Since restrictions have been eased, admissions have reopened however at a much lower capacity and reduced hours that are in line with the health orders as with most food and beverage businesses.  Moving forward, although some of these measures may no longer be required in the future, their online presence and delivery services will continue to be offered as the Pandemic created an opportunity for diversification and growth.
