WEBVTT	#Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.0.604013

00:00:02.450 --> 00:00:03.709
We've been really lucky, we've been

00:00:03.710 --> 00:00:05.660
here for 75 years, so

00:00:05.930 --> 00:00:07.369
over the course of that time, we've

00:00:07.370 --> 00:00:09.679
built a really loyal customer

00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:10.129
base.

00:00:10.130 --> 00:00:11.539
And so obviously during difficult

00:00:11.540 --> 00:00:13.255
times, we were able to kind of turn

00:00:13.490 --> 00:00:14.731
our model around a little bit.

00:00:15.590 --> 00:00:17.362
Really sort of create almost what I

00:00:17.420 --> 00:00:19.309
would call like a walk up drive

00:00:19.310 --> 00:00:20.029
through.

00:00:20.030 --> 00:00:21.745
And it's been just really efficient

00:00:21.860 --> 00:00:23.420
and really easy and accessible.

00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:25.159
The experience has changed because

00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:26.239
unfortunately, we can't have you

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:27.499
inside the restaurant right now as

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:28.520
much as we would like to.

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.679
And I think dining at the counter at

00:00:30.680 --> 00:00:32.329
the Apple Pan is one of those

00:00:32.330 --> 00:00:33.229
treasured L.A.

00:00:33.230 --> 00:00:34.049
experiences.

00:00:34.050 --> 00:00:36.139
So end of last year

00:00:36.140 --> 00:00:37.609
and then we've been able to recently

00:00:37.610 --> 00:00:38.869
reopen it again. We've created a

00:00:38.870 --> 00:00:40.760
really lovely patio

00:00:40.970 --> 00:00:42.489
and our back parking lot that I

00:00:42.530 --> 00:00:43.902
think very much captures the

00:00:44.450 --> 00:00:46.130
essence of what the Apple Pan is.

00:00:48.130 --> 00:00:49.299
You know, for us, we've been a

00:00:49.300 --> 00:00:51.490
cash-only business for 75 years

00:00:51.730 --> 00:00:53.409
and literally overnight we had to

00:00:53.410 --> 00:00:55.479
pivot our entire system

00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:56.852
and how we kind of processed

00:00:57.850 --> 00:00:59.159
payments, how we took care of

00:00:59.180 --> 00:01:00.180
guests.

00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:02.066
Overnight, we put in kind of point

00:01:02.110 --> 00:01:02.989
of sales machines.

00:01:02.990 --> 00:01:04.420
We started taking credit cards.

00:01:05.349 --> 00:01:07.064
You know, how people ordered picked

00:01:07.150 --> 00:01:08.424
up their food and left was

00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:09.500
completely different.

00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:11.317
It's been a year of playing catch

00:01:11.410 --> 00:01:13.076
up. We see light at the end of the

00:01:13.150 --> 00:01:14.150
tunnel.

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:15.669
And, you know, we expect to be able

00:01:15.670 --> 00:01:17.499
to invite diners back inside at some

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:18.500
point in 2021.

00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:20.464
And we're we're eagerly anticipating

00:01:21.220 --> 00:01:22.510
that that reopening date.
