The creative way Amazon’s Audible is helping restaurants survive COVID-19
Over the past 13 years, Audible has made an effort to integrate itself into the Newark community. When the pandemic struck, it doubled down.
The timing couldn’t have been worse for Kai Campbell’s restaurant business in Newark, New Jersey. His first restaurant, a burger joint with an Indian twist, had been broken into and trashed just before New Year’s, and he’d used most of January to rebuild and change formats. Customers were just getting used to its new vegetarian menu. Construction on a second restaurant was wrapping up, and the health inspection would soon allow doors to open in March. And the Jewish deli he’d recently purchased—one of the oldest restaurants in the city—was just stabilizing after the change in ownership.
