Lockdown Economy Albania in a Halal Restaurant with Besa Hoxha

In this interview, we meet Besa, the manager of Golden Taste, which is a halal restaurant in Tirana, Albania. Their clients are mostly from the Muslim community and from nearby tax office workers. We talked about the restaurant’s experience during the lockdown. Some of the mentioned challenges were: no clients to serve since most of them were working from home, and there was no need for them to order or eat at restaurants. The prohibition of events also affected it, because during Ramadan month people were gathering every night. Because of the 2 meters distance of tables, the capacity was almost halved. During the pandemic, they took the time to come up with new solutions. They changed their menu from basic restaurant meals, into business meal menu. After the lockdown, people were trying not to spend too much. They really liked this kind of menu, it was warm, tasty and most importantly, affordable. The three things that the business needs help with are: 1. A raise to war wages. 2. Some of the employee insurances to be covered by the government. 3. To leave the small businesses to recover for a one to two year period, by lowering some taxes.
