Like her fellow restaurateurs, Dawn Chapman—the owner of adorable east-end café and restaurant Lazy Daisy’s—has pulled many a pandemic-pivot to adapt to the circumstances: she streamlined the café’s floor plan and menu; created an online pantry selling products sourced from the Toronto Food Terminal, and even used her own car to make deliveries. Chapman also endeavoured to help her neighbourhood by adding a ‘donations’ option on the café’s website, where customers could select groceries to be donated directly to a local food bank. “I felt good working side by side with my son to fill up the trunk of our car and deliver those donations. Everyone rallied together and the cafe pulled through that first phase of lockdown.”
