When Hurricane Katrina shut down Melvin Rodrigue's famed Galatoire's restaurant in New Orleans, insurance paid for his losses. This time, it won't. 'I think Katrina is going to prove to be a cakewalk compared to this,' he says.

Just about every restaurant nationwide has been hit hard at once, making this disaster unique.

Restaurants of all types are in varying states of collapse. The industry is the country's second-largest private employer with 15.6 million workers. Now, many of them are without work and face a suddenly shaky job market. "For a restaurant, you have to have certainty in order to operate, and those are three changes in one day — one 24-hour period," Rodrigue says.

SOLUTION - By federal action immediately switch all US grocery stores and restaurants to delivery only. Immediately reemploy all laid off restaurant, hotel staff, etc. as delivery drivers. Utilize all existing platforms: Uber Eats, DoorDash, Postmates. AmericaAlreadyGreat J.316

Because of you! NPR is propaganda!!! Overreaction

Restaurants are able to offer food for delivery or pickup.. why did this one decide to close? They can also offer gift certificates and pre-purchase options for cashflow during this time. People are still working and willing to help small local businesses.

Their trout almandine is the stuff dreams are made of.

Serve take out and delivery to get by. Landlords - and this is the hard part - but Landlords should waive rent for a couple of months.

Rules can be bent in extraordinary circumstances.

The majority of these restaurants won't ever come back. We're witnessing the death of small business and the rise of corporately-owned everything, all from houses we can't leave.
