Locals paint rainbow fence at German Village bar that had Pride flags stolen
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — It's the start of Pride month, which means there will be many events all over central Ohio celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. Many businesses and homes will start hanging up their rainbow decorations, but for the past two years, a local bar said its decorations have been stolen. Columbus music festival raises noise concerns The owner of Rumours, Jackie Sansavera, said instead of responding with frustration, they're coming back with even more color. 'We were able to come up with something really great for the community to see as they drive by and something that can't be taken away,' Sansavera said. Last year, NBC4 reported on the theft of Pride decorations throughout Merion Village and German Village, including at Rumours. Residents came together this year to help paint a rainbow mural on the fence at the bar to begin Pride month. 'We will never consider not having pride decorations,' Sansavera said. 'That's what we are. It's what we do. It's who we are. I think the whole point of people trying to steal that from you is so that you don't put it up, and we'll just make it louder and brighter and prettier and a little bit more fun every time.' Ohio residents are among America's biggest gamblers, according to recent study The idea to paint the fence was born after employees at Condado Tacos found out about the theft. They said it was the perfect way to put leftover paint to use. 'We wanted something that was going to be bright and bold and representative of the welcoming friendliness that Rumours provides to the area,' Condado Tacos Art Director Alyssa Martin said. The fence is now a permanent and even brighter version of last year's. 'Pride is such an ongoing and ever-growing movement and we just want to be able to participate in whatever way we can and support in whatever way we can,' Condado Tacos Project Manager for Loca Restaurant Marketing and Art Olivia Dempsey said.

New ezCater Data Highlights Workplace Food as a Key Growth Driver for Restaurants
94% of operators believe large, off-premise orders drive incremental revenue to their business LAS VEGAS & BOSTON, May 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ezCater, the #1 food tech platform for workplaces in the US, today released new data about the workplace food opportunity at its 2025 Catering Growth Forum during the Food on Demand Conference. The findings, based on ezCater order data and survey insights from over 2,300 workplace food stakeholders, show workplace food as a significant and growing revenue opportunity for restaurants. The market for workplace food is expanding as businesses order restaurant food more and more, and introduce employee meal programs, sometimes as a cafeteria replacement. In fact, 43% of organizations surveyed have a recurring meal program in place, up 17% from 2024. "Workplace catering has always been a big opportunity for restaurants, but now it's bigger than ever," said Cindy Klein Roche, Chief Marketing Officer, ezCater. "Organizations are ordering for more occasions and bringing in food from local restaurants on a programmatic, recurring basis. Restaurants have a tremendous opportunity to tap into new revenue streams by embracing the evolving role of food in the workplace." Additional ezCater survey insights on the workplace food opportunity include: Workplace food is a powerful marketing engine: 70% of employees who first try a restaurant through an employer-provided meal personally ordered from that restaurant outside of work, a 49% increase compared to last year. Bigger budgets, larger orders: 60% of orderers plan to spend more on workplace food in 2025, with nearly a third expecting budget increases of 25% or more. This is reflected in ezCater's orders as well, with average order value up 12% to $420, and average headcount up 9% to 25. Great for workplaces means great for restaurants: As organizations recognize the value of food in the workplace, the opportunity for restaurants increases. Employees save on average 30 minutes of their workday when meals are provided and 68% report feeling more productive. "Business catering has proven to be a powerful engine for growth, allowing us to connect with a significant number of new customers we might not otherwise reach," said Sara Kear, Chief Marketing Officer, Condado Tacos. "It now represents a substantial portion of our overall catering sales volume and has become an invaluable vehicle for expanding our reach." In today's competitive restaurant landscape, brands with established catering programs have a clear advantage. ezCater's survey found that restaurants with catering programs experienced a 5.1% increase in overall revenue from 2023 to 2024, outpacing the 3.3% average revenue growth rate for restaurants and bars reported by Technomic. Restaurants and businesses of all types, from Dave's Hot Chicken to Crumbl, are capitalizing on the growing workplace food opportunity.
