Kai Ko Has Been Doing Food Deliveries For His Restaurant, Says He Has Utmost Respect For Delivery Drivers
One of the problems he faced doing food deliveries? Not being able to find a place to pee.
JJ Lin and Jam Hsiao aren’t the only celebrities who are struggling to keep their F&B businesses afloat.
Due to the surge in COVID-19 infections in Taiwan in May, actor Kai Ko had to shut his family’s cocktail bar and restaurant Asylum for more than a month, and the restaurant is now doing food deliveries.
The 30-year-old has even personally taken on food delivery duties recently. He revealed this during a live stream session on Instagram last night (Jun 24), where he also introduced the restaurant’s delivery menu, which includes their signatures as well as new and more affordable items like sandwiches.
He shared that for the past three days, he has been personally delivering meals to celeb pals like actor Chen Bolin and singer Shou Lou in hopes of boosting business.
“It has not been easy. Due to rental and manpower costs, it’s really difficult to sustain the business. [We] have to rely on everyone to help. I have sent meals to all the artistes and friends that I can think of. I’m sorry if I missed you out,” he said.
Thank you to those who received the food and shared about them [online] for free. Thank you.
After three consecutive days of deliveries, Kai said that he now has utmost respect for delivery drivers.
I only did it for three hours each day [for three days] and I feel tired. And I couldn't find a place to pee [while I was out delivering food]. So, I really respect delivery drivers and the frontline medical staff. Everyone please take good care of yourselves,” he said.
He also gave a shout-out to Taiwanese entertainer Da Fei and his manager Jessica, who helped him to contact artistes, organise his route, and take care of the bentos during his deliveries.
