What have you done to keep your customers engaged?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">Jimmy\u2019s: We\u2019ve had so many ideas contributed from the many creative people on our staff. Our takeout and delivery menu has evolved over the past three weeks to include guest favorites with a focus on affordable options, and we\u2019ve added a four-person roasted chicken dinner to the menu with a choice of soup or salad plus two side dishes. We also have a number of our regular bar specials available now every night of the week. We\u2019ve implemented an online ordering system to make it convenient for guests to order and schedule pick-ups in advance, with contactless payment and curbside delivery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">We\u2019ve had a lot of success with our cocktail delivery service offering a range of bottled cocktails (four for $20). Margaritas have been the most popular, but we have done everything from Painkillers to Palomas and will continue to offer a rotating inventory. And every day the weather is nice, we have a couple of employees \u2014 usually in costume! \u2014 who bike around with a trailer delivering cocktails all around Aspen. You can see who and where they are by following us @jimmysaspen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">We\u2019ve begun offering spirits tasting kits paired with virtual tastings led by Jimmy. It\u2019s a fun way to entertain yourself at home and learn something new about mezcal, tequila or Japanese whisky. The kits include four 2 oz. tastes of a spirit, plus a sample size cocktail, and the virtual seminars are also available as recordings if you miss the live tasting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">AT: What\u2019s the most important thing the community can do to support you?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">JM: Of course, continue patronizing our business as much as economically feasible. But to be frank, no amount of take-out food is going to replace the revenue we (and all restaurants and other small businesses) have lost. When we reach the other side of this and can be open, it will be so important for our guests to feel comfortable dining, drinking and having fun with us (regularly) again. It\u2019s going to take a lot of time to recover.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">AT: Where can we find your most current offerings and updates?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">JM: We update our menu daily on our website, jimmysaspen.com, and we post on Facebook and Instagram with nightly specials and new offerings almost every day. And call us at 970-925-6020! We always have someone here after 3:30 p.m., and it\u2019s nice to connect with our guests even if it\u2019s just over the phone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">AT: What has been the best customer experience or comment you\u2019ve had since the crisis started?<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">JM: It\u2019s hard to pick just one, because the community support has been so amazing. Our customers have been incredibly generous. One stand-out is the mother of one of our employees purchased $200 worth of gift cards and asked us to give them to people we think could use a free meal during this time. We\u2019ve had guests from around the country purchase gift cards to support us, and people we know who don\u2019t have endless financial resources have also done what they can to help. A lot of guests are tipping generously, knowing that all of our revenue and gratuities right now are going to our employee relief fund, which will help us to financially support our staff who are out of work and may not qualify for government aid. We are so grateful for all of it and proud to have been part of the community for the past 23 years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/news\/local\/were-open-jimmys-restaurant-and-bar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jimmy&#8217;s restaurant remains open for take out.Courtesy photo Business name: Jimmy\u2019s Address: 205 S.
