Boyfriend's restaurant closed the dining room today. They're not exactly a to-go order type of place, but they have a faithful following among the fine dining crowd. They created a limited to-go menu that they will deliver curbside or meet you at the door. They're also starting delivery using grubhub.
There are three owners (chef, bar, and foh) and my boyfriend (sous chef) that are salaried, and they kept on one hourly kitchen staff. Boyfriend is still scared that he could wind up getting the temporary ax.
It sucks for everyone in that industry. If you have a local establishment that is offering curbside, please be inclined to stop by to pick something up. It will help more than you know. If laid off, they can collect unemployment, but it's not nearly the same and it will be difficult to find work whenever nearly everyone in that industry is out doing the same thing. My job is just fine, but please keep us in your thoughts, as things could still potentially go sideways for us for a little while.
