Hubby and I are looking forward to dining in a restaurant again. With allowable 25% occupancy indoors, do you think you will feel safe enough to dine in a restaurant? I'm hoping the restaurants have a mandatory reservation system in place so there won't be lots of waiting on line to be seated.

What are your thoughts on dining inside restaurants?

A friend of mind in the restaurant business says they don’t know how they can open with only 25% capacity. Too much overhead and not enough income. Hopefully, the bigger guys can do it but not sure about small places. I wouldn’t have a problem with it safety wise.

I think City Fire laid out their plans which include disposable menu's, meals served in containers with plastic utensils, servers in masks and gloves. Not my idea of an enjoyable dinner out.

No. Definitely No.

How many residents could survive if their daily/monthly financial resources were reduced 75%?

And not knowing if/when it will go up again!

Can any of us live on 25% of our income? How do people think a business can do it???

[billethkid]

Remember the 25% is not their income.....if we assume 25% capacity is = to or close to 25% revenue....not income.
(I should have included that reminder in my first post).

Most break evens are well above the 50% revenue level.

Sounds nice but like others have said reduce revenue by 75% and how does business stay afloat?

[Chi-Town]

Pretty sure 25% will be 50% soon.

The Rose Plantation has already said thanks, but no thanks, to the 25 percent rule. They will not open.

You will be fine as long as no one in the restaurant sneezes or coughs LOL

Read this to thinking we will just do takeout for now

[davem4616]

Ha, given that I never want to be "the 1st on my block" to try out any new electronic or technology breakthrough product...

I think I'll wait awhile and let the restaurants get the kinks out of reopening under the new guidelines before I dine out again

[jedalton]

nope

[wsachs]

I can get the same food, sometimes with a deal, for takeout and eat safely at home. Why risk it now?
