FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | SEPTEMBER 2019 5 BISTRO NEWS! Thank you everyone for your patience while a new vendor was selected. We had 18 different people who toured the Bistro and were given the Request for Proposal. Of those 18, six submitted a proposal to be the new operator. The Board formed an Ad Hoc Committee to review the proposals and forward a recommendation to the Board. The Board agreed with the Committee's recommendation to enter into a contract with the Kopper Kettle from Yucaipa to be the new Bistro operator. The Kopper Kettle Bistro signed a year-long contract on Aug. 12, and are very excited to be opening the Bistro with a start date target of Sept. 1. The new operator will be open seven days a week, from 7 am to 7 pm. They might be open later on Fridays and Saturdays to test the feasibility of doing so. While their Yucaipa location closes at 3 pm, they currently sell dinners to go there. Their current plan is to be a full service operation in the Bistro, so only to go orders would still be taken at the counter. There is no change in regards to a beer and wine license so you will still be able to bring your favorite beverage. They will provide delivery service with a $1 surcharge as they plan to use more environmentally-friendly containers. They hold cooking classes at their Yucaipa location and plan on doing classes for residents here as well in the future. Stay tuned to the Daily Report for any updates with hours and menu options!
