Isa Chandra Moskowitz, renowned Brooklyn vegan chef, is closing her restaurant Modern Love this June after eight years, citing that the financial model became unviable. Despite good sales from takeout, the reliance on third-party delivery apps hindered profitability. Recognized for its innovative vegan comfort food, the restaurant plans to relocate rather than shut down entirely. Moskowitz has garnered support from the vegan community, receiving condolences and encouragement to move forward with a new concept.
The pandemic shift to more deliveries and takeout business 'isn't sustainable for a sit-down restaurant,' she explains.
I had to close Modern Love basically because the business model wasn't working, and I had to change our entire concept.
It's impossible to absorb the cuts that third-party apps take.
Moskowitz wants to relocate the restaurant with a different service model.
