Via www.helpgastro.ch, consumers can buy gift certificates for their favorite restaurants, bars or cafés directly and easily. Certificate purchases help business owners generate income right away, even now, while they are closed. This will generate customer visits in the future. The certificates can be redeemed as soon as the businesses reopen. Flavio Calligaris, member of the management team at Coca‑Cola HBC Switzerland, about the initiative: "Although the unprecedented impact is difficult to assess at this stage, we can at least provide some support and help the food service and hotel industry to cover its running costs. Many of the restaurants, bars and cafés affected are valued partners and customers of ours. We view it as our responsibility to support them in this tough situation."
