Bluepoint Hospitality has pivoted from presenting ultra-luxe culinary meals to serving its community – a remote sailing town of 16,000 residents – with boxed-up carry-out from three of its six establishments, while keeping ALL 50 of its employees on staff. And, the hospitality group situated in Maryland – one of the states hit hardest by the current pandemic – continues to sustain the salaries of its employees. A rarity in the current climate of today’s hospitality industry.
In safely moving forward with abbreviated operations, Bluepoint Hospitality’s founder and CEO of Beowulf Energy, Paul Prager – Easton, MD and New York City resident – had no intention of changing the most vital component of the group – its employees. To date, not one employee has been let go – despite the current limitations on the services offered. And, Prager has pledged that all 50 associates will remain gainfully employed, even if months continue to unfold as such. Furthermore, Bluepoint Hospitality is committed to providing a free daily staff meal to every employee before or after each shift. In this same spirit, Prager and Bluepoint Hospitality remain committed to lending a helping hand to the community in Easton, MD – donating 2,000 masks to the University of Maryland Shore Medical Center at Easton and delivering meals, loaves of bread, and freshly baked desserts every Saturday to the local heroes of doctors, nurses and hospital workers.
