It's been a very difficult time for business owners all over the world during the pandemic. Restaurants have been hard hit and one Sushi restaurant in Japan came up with a brilliant way of keeping the doors open.
They started a "macho delivery" service that involves using buff bodybuilders as delivery guys.
The owners watched as their profits plummet in the second quarter and had to cut his staff from 50 to just four. But then he came up with the "Delivery Macho" service, recruiting some of his younger gym buddies to start delivering food and surprising customers by taking their tops off and revealing their buffed physiques.
They also started posing for photos with their clients, and some of those pics ended up on social media, helping the "Delivery Macho" service go viral soon after it launched.
As many of his bodybuilding friends were out of work during the pandemic, he had little trouble finding delivery boys.
So you too can enjoy delicious sushi and a hot body for a minimum order of $65.
I had to pass on his generous offer to fly me to Japan as I told him my family and my job here at Q92 means so very much to me.
