Fast-casual seafood chain Slapfish has seen so much success with off-premise operations amid the coronavirus crisis. The Huntington Beach, Calif.-based chain has also had success with to-go alcohol, selling premixed cocktails where it's allowed. The chain has added family-style items amid the pandemic, including a takeout brunch package. Gruel expects to see an uptick in franchising once the immediate crisis has passed. He also expects to see a growing number of real estate opportunities.
