This sociological research aims to explore the social practice scheme of productive waqf-based culinary business during the Covid-19 pandemic located at Ampera Restaurant, Haii Coffee Shop, and Cuankie and Batagor Serayu in collaboration with Waqf Pro 99 Sinergi Foundation. This research was carried out through qualitative methods with purposively selected informants, including the CEO of Waqf Pro 99 Sinergi Foundation, managers, and employees of the culinary business. Data collection techniques through observation, interviews, literature studies, and documentation.
