Off The Menu: Survey finds customers happy with restaurants, but remain cautious about dining out
Beset by six months of shutdowns, supply disruptions, and mandated capacity constraints, the restaurant industry continues its struggle to understand what the future might hold for it.
On the macro level, August showed overall gains in restaurant sales, producing some of the best numbers since the pandemic shutdowns began in March. The pace at which sales improved, however, has slowed, in turn suggesting that the industry needs to prepare for a persistent slump that's likely to last well into 2021 and beyond.

Find comfort (and customers!) in Italian food
With the pandemic making off-premise sales the primary way—if not the only way—for restaurants to continue service, many consumers have increased their volume of takeout orders. Gen X and baby boomers in particular have been inspired to order more food for pickup, with some venturing to try a restaurant's takeout services for the first time.
For this reason, restaurants have an opportunity to cater their menus toward mature consumers. And for operators who want to attract more of these diners, it's important to offer familiar favorites as well as globally inspired dishes with authentic flavors. Serving Italian fare can help operators meet each of these priorities in one fell swoop—and authentic Italian cheeses from Schuman Cheese's Cello line makes it easier than ever.

NV Energy ordered to pay back $60 million to Southern Nevada customers after over-collection,
NV Energy customers in Southern Nevada will get a credit of about $53 starting with the October billing cycle, after state utility regulators ordered the company to return nearly $60 million in overearnings to its customers.
The state's Public Utilities Commission made the decision during its meeting Wednesday, resulting in the largest ever one-time bill credit given by the utility to its customers. Commissioners wrote in the published order that the utility should return the overearnings collected over the last two years to customers as soon as practical, in part to help "alleviate some of the financial pressures caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic."
