There were a few different ones that did it.

White Spot behind Willowbrook mall in Langley still does it as well. I was there a few weeks ago for a lovely little date night. Car hop service at White Spot followed by watching Mortal Kombat at the drive in theater. Food is hit and miss.

^Indeed they do.
Back in the day I thought most White Spots did the "car hop" thing. Anyways I recall the one on Broadway in Kits had it as thats were our family went.
I'd still go for a Monty Mushroom Burger with extra shrooms  I'm big on the nostalgia value of White Spot. Plus less chance of their patios being shot up in the gang war!

I feel fucking bad man.

If we have to stay closed, I’m fine with that, we all get it, but can we get some info? I literally finished watching that and knew less than when it started.

Talking to my chefs now, so do we over-prep and have excess wastage or under-prep and have many items sold out if we open fully on Tuesday?

Q:. Are you guys open for take out or small amount of patio dining? If so, is it that much harder to ramp up for in-person dining? If you're ramping up from 0 ..I get that it's a big endeavor but if you are open in some capacity, is it not just a matter of scale?

Our indoor seating capacity is 200.
You can't just "ramp up" 10x the capacity overnight. Food needs to be prepped, oysters need to be delivered.
Staff need to be scheduled. Many of my staff have found random side jobs to fill in time and pay their bills. Unlike Westopher I don't have chefs stuffed into closets in the back room.

Your indoor capacity can't possibly be 200 with Covid restrictions, is it? I mean if Covid seating capacity is 1/3 that, then you're looking at 60-70, at full capacity.

Think of it this way.
If we are fully open we will sell 35kg of beef short ribs in two days
If we have a slow patio and take out only day I may sell 3.5kg
If I order 35kg, and we have a shitty week of bad weather, and the restrictions aren’t lifted that’s enough for 10 days.
That’s not fresh, and not the kind of product we want to send out.
It takes 2 days to properly prep. It’s one basic way of looking at it, but extrapolate that over 100 ingredients and like 40-50 prep items.
We are also running with 3 people a day in the kitchen instead of 7, so getting people in requires planning, and I’m doing my absolute best to make sure I don’t tell someone to work and say oh never mind we don’t need you, so people can at least plan their lives.
Also if I bring people in for a 3 day work week, instead of 1 or 2 , they no longer qualify for the government benefits put in place for people who have lost hours. It’s complex. As obsideon said also some are doing side jobs to make extra money while their hours are cut. It’s not fair to them or their other employers to expect they can drop that without warning.

First it was 50%, then it was however many you can fit according to social distancing guidelines and/or dividers. We sit around 60% inside adhering to the protocols when allowed to have dine in.
