This is pure madness. Never been a fan of care homes and think families should be looking after their own where possible. Lets hope this s over within a few months and some sort of normality can come back. I can't even get a take away coffee in this place as they are all shut down. At least you must have something unless all your clients are coffee shops. Think this is where online makes sense and businesses need to seriously get more organised after this.

Having been through the whole trying to care yourself for a severely ailing parent with my Mother bless I can tell you it's real tough especially when mental health is involved - families can only do so much especially when faced with someone who is wheelchair bound but somehow manages in the middle of the night to get out of bed out walk out of the house into the garden....
No doubt about it Coronavirus is a complete financial disaster for the hospitality trade and I don't think there will be enough financial support to keep many alive until they can re-open. It surely hit my sales as most of my customers were coffee shops, restaurants and hotels. But my business was never based on one product or sales avenue - so throughout I have been trading just selling coffee to domestic clients, especially green coffee to people who roast at home - it's actually a big market and very few people have realised they can sell 1kg of green coffee that requires very little work to home roasters instead of trying to sell roasted coffee to people that they have to..well roast! Plus I always had sales channels on eBay and Amazon that were always mocked because small low value orders - but now those small low value orders are in their thousands and keeping the good ship sailing. Insert smug face here <<<<<<<
I am really glad you went another route with online as that is the ticket right now. Did you see we have a coffee grower on here with his own plantation and branded coffee @razack-pulo
I had not seen @razack-pulo but have now, Indonesian coffee is a big seller for me so I might be able to add some of his product too.
I only found out last week when he posted about his coffee. Thought you might be interested as he hasn't marketed his brand anywhere and only supplies the village. Based in Gayo Highland,Sumatra. Katoomba coffee is the name.
