Criteria used to assess innovation: social growth and new norms
A restaurant in Amsterdam called Mediamatic has found a solution for their customers to go out on the terrace to dine. They created personal greenhouses that can hold up to three people who all live together. These greenhouses are made to be reserved in advance. The servers use a long wooden board to give the customers their food while they wear personal protective equipment (PPE). This gives customers the opportunity to get out of their house and enjoy a nice meal while keeping them as well as the workers safe. The restaurant is working towards making larger greenhouses for households of more than 3 people. Using this innovation to help socially distance it could be implemented within the restaurant and in many other settings.
