Same with restaurants, really. You just can't turn a profit with only 40% of the capacity, unless you're a high turnover rate business like a burger joint. So, we may be releasing the restrictions, but it just means they will die a slower death. But then again, what's the alternative. (Don't want to kick off a PWEC debate here)
Many restaurants that were barely getting by before the pandemic have already closed and many of the ones that have managed to stick around during the pandemic have successfully changed their business model to be mostly a home delivery or pick up service.
Eventually things will recover for the restaurant sector but I think the home delivery/pick up service will continue to show increasing demand.
