When a couple walked into the Betty’s at the Kitch restaurant in Mahone Bay, N.S., earlier this month, they left quite an impression -- and a generous tip.
Their server, Ukrainian refugee Mariia Dibrova, arrived in the province last month with her mother Iryna. They settled in the town with help from Betty Hutton and Danielle King, who own Betty’s at the Kitch.“We like to do things a little different,” she said in a phone interview with CTV News.
“She had hospitality experience in Dubai, which made it a fairly easy transition for them,” said King. On July 5, the restaurant started extending its hours and opening for lunch. It was Mariia’s first shift at work after completing her training on how to use the large wood-fired pizza. The restaurant makes weekly “Meet a Betty” posts on its Facebook account, introducing the public to their staff. In a July 16 post, the restaurant shared the story of the generous tip, calling it an “unbelievably heart warming gesture and beautiful welcome to our community.”
