re: Restaurants Starting to Close Outright

Friends in restaurant industry tell me a) Nobody wants to work esp now that they are seeing the unemployment stuff and checks are coming b) they are doing 20% or less of their business and that's the ones who are still doing what we think is good and 0% of their regular markup alcohol business3) They would lose less by shutting down completely 4) Its not worth the time, effort and misery as an owner considering the previous 3 issues. If they are able to work out something with their landlord until federal relief gets here they are closing. Also once they go through product and see how it is they are just not reordering. Sysco just laid off a bunch of people as well.
