Why is seesaw closing down

The threat of restaurants re-closing has even affected restaurants in areas that have not experienced the full seesaw situation. Chicago, for example, allowed restaurants to partially re-open dining rooms in June and has not closed them again. A key concern for restaurants dealing with the seesaw situation is staffing.

Some restaurants that furloughed employees during the worst of the COVID time and rehired them when dining rooms reopened had to let them go again when dining rooms re-closed. Garcia, who required all of her staffers to be tested for COVID before they returned to work, does not want to face letting them go again.

Jim Urdiales, owner of Mestizo Restaurant in Baton Rouge, expanded his take-out business when restaurants shut-down in March and has continued that even after the state allowed a partial reopening of dining rooms two months later. Consider adjusting your menu to focus on items that are good for take-out and delivery so you can still use the ingredients if your dining room is closed.

In many areas, if a restaurant employee gets sick, the restaurant needs to shut down for a quarantine period, regardless of the overall situation.
