The National Restaurant Association, a restaurant industry group,on Monday to majority and minority leaders in both the Senate and House of Representatives sharing the results of a nationwide survey on the economic plight of restaurants.
The majority of restaurants that closed were not brand-new businesses, the association found: on average, they'd been in business for 16 years. The National Restaurant Association is advocating for a relief plan that would include a second round of Paycheck Protection Program loans as well as a tax credit to help employers keep workers on their payrolls. Sales return to normal levels at massive chains, but independent restaurants continue to struggle — a trend that could permanently change the industry
People won't have money enough to spend at restaurants anyway. Hardly any discretionary income.
A shame that all small businesses haven’t been federally supported so we can all safely shut down. We’d likely be on the other side of this now...like Australia, NZ....
Million suffering but not from the pandemic
click your heels and repeat 10 times: 'It was worth it'. Thanks to these selfless sacrifices, we are now not having to deal with that terrible scourge of a virus.
