Syed Zakir Hossain/Dhaka TribuneThe venerable party caterer is struggling for restrictions on social gatherings to keep coronavirus at bayLife has returned to a version for normalcy for most. But not for Fakruddin Biryani, synonymous with hearty social celebrations. December is typically the peak sales period for Fakruddin as it is the wedding season. Although wedding ceremonies are taking place amid the pandemic, the volume of orders Fakruddin is receiving is too meagre to foot its overhead costs, which includes the wage bill for its currently 75-man-strong kitchen staff. Before, we had to cater for 500-700 and more for each wedding,” said Abdul Khaleque Fakruddin, managing director of Fakruddin Biryani.
