Owners of much-loved Liverpool restaurant say their ‘anxiety is hard to capture’

The owners of a much-loved Liverpool restaurant have spoken out about the current lockdown restrictions and said “the worry and anxiety for ourselves, staff and suppliers is hard to capture”.

In an emotional letter Peter and Elaine Kinsella, the owners of Catalonian bar and deli Lunya, said the jobs of nearly 70 people are at stake ahead of the Government’s announcements.

So far, all restaurants, pubs and bars across the country have been told to close their doors at 10pm. More locally, in the Liverpool City Region, restrictions are stricter as two households are not allowed to meet indoors.

It is expected Prime Minister Boris Johnson will announce further restrictions tomorrow for Merseyside, with worries stricter rules could be put in place for hospitality venues.

Peter and Elaine said: “In all our 30 years of running a business, we have never known a week like this one.

“We have had

The 10 p.m. curfew on alcohol sales took effect on July 31 in an effort to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, but it has severely affected the restaurant and bar industry.

Ramsey said it is a “stressful situation sitting there watching the time clock and reminding people that they only have a limited time.”

She explained that at 9 p.m. she goes to every table and reminds them of the 10 p.m. curfew, but it never fails that the bar is slammed at 9:55 p.m.

“At 9:59 p.m. I stop serving,” Ramsey said. “I’m not going to risk it.”

Three Clark County establishments have been cited since reopening. Pat & Martha’s Tavern in Medway, was cited for violating coronavirus related reopening policies that alleged the bar was opened when it should not have been in May. The

Coronavirus Crisis: Pleasanton restaurant owners frustrated after Alameda County delays indoor dining

ALAMEDA COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) — With their counterparts in neighboring Contra Costa County now allowed to offer limited inside dining, restaurant owners in Pleasanton are not too happy that Alameda County health officials won’t grant them the same privilege, despite meeting the state’s coronavirus threshold.

“Ten miles away, you can drive down the road and have a meal,” said Mike Connors, owner of Hap’s Original Steaks and Seafood. “I think we’ve gotten drug into what’s happening in Oakland, where their numbers are quite high for the coronavirus.”

Rule issued Friday allows bars to serve alcohol to customers indoors when they are seated and 6 feet apart. It runs through Oct. 30.

Indoor bars in Michigan that couldn’t open during the pandemic because they didn’t meet revenue requirements called for in executive orders can now do so, but with strict regulations in place.

Robert Gordon, director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, issued a new order Friday that includes several changes to previous orders for bars and restaurants regarding COVID-19.

Much of the new order, effective immediately and running through Oct. 30, replicates an order issued Monday, but it also allows bars to serve alcohol to customers indoors when they are seated and 6 feet apart. Mandates for food establishments remained the same as Monday’s order.

ROCKFORD — Bar owner Nick Fosberg is not going to stop serving customers inside Fozzy’s Bar and Grill, the Loves Park business he opened last year.

Yes, he’s aware of the state’s order directing Rockford-area bars and restaurants to stop all indoor dining and bar service until the region has a better handle on the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Fosberg just doesn’t think bars and restaurants have anything to do with the spread of the virus, and he doesn’t think he’s under any legal obligation to follow Gov. JB Pritzker’s latest executive order.

“According to our attorney, there’s no law that says you can shut down indoor dining,” Fosberg said. “We’re not breaking any laws.

“We’re following the same rules that were put in place before when dining reopened. We have no live music, no dancing, 6 feet between tables, masks for all of our staff.”

Fosberg is far from alone.

Victory’s biggest challenge is making sure people were aware that New Orleans bars close no later than 11 p.m. under the city’s Phase 3.1 guidelines.

NEW ORLEANS — Bar and restaurant owners said they were pleased to see foot traffic after many of them were closed or had their businesses capacity limited by local and state mandates to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Saturday marked the first day New Orleans city leaders moved into Phase 3.1, a modified gradual move into Phase 3 that the rest of Louisiana has already implemented.

Tourists from Mississippi, Texas and elsewhere lined Bourbon Street waiting for their chance to get a to-go drink, something made available again for the first time on Saturday.

“Thank God that it came out 3.1 was starting,” Daniel Victory who owns Victory Nola in the Central Business District said.

Victory Nola has been closed because of the pandemic.

Struggling to bring back customers, mall owners have pinned hopes on the Maharashtra government’s decision to allow food courts and restaurants to reopen from October 5 after a gap of almost six months.

Restaurants, bars, food courts and hotels are among the hardest hit sections of the economy as restrictions on travel and movement to curb the spread of the coronavirus have kept people away.

In the fifth phase of the rolling back of lockdown restrictions, the government has allowed restaurants, bars and food courts to open from October 5 but with a caveat. They will have to operate at 50 percent capacity, according to the ‘Mission Begin Again’ guidelines issued by the state government on September 30.

A Covid Surcharge on Restaurant Checks? Some Owners Are Wary

He has raised his prices by about 5 or 6 percent, he said, and has noticed that other places have done the same. Unless new, unforeseen costs arise, he said, “it kind of feels like price gouging.”

Philippe Massoud, the chef and owner of Ilili, a Lebanese restaurant in the Flatiron district, has not yet raised menu prices, though he says he has spent nearly $16,000 on outdoor-dining infrastructure and several thousands of dollars more on masks and gloves, which have risen in price. “I’m going through them like there’s no tomorrow,” he said. Mr. Massoud is also paying two employees just to manage compliance with all the safety guidelines related to Covid-19.

So he is thinking about adding a 1 to 3 percent charge. He likes the idea of the surcharge, he said, because he can use the mention of it on the menu to explain the need to

Restaurant Owners Protest in Paris Over Fears of COVID Shutdown | World News

Torri Donley 2 months ago

PARIS (Reuters) – Restaurateurs and their staff on Friday stood in front of their restaurants in Paris wearing black arm-bands and banging pots and pans, urging the French government not to order tighter restrictions to halt the spread of the coronavirus.

Health Minister Olivier Veran said on Thursday the Paris region was set to be placed on maximum COVID-19 alert from as soon as Monday as cases rise.

Restaurant owners fear new closures could force them out of business. Bars and restaurants in the French capital must close by 10 pm under current coronavirus restrictions.

“It’s a great concern for our jobs, for our wages, for our future,” Andrea Vincenzi, who manages La Ville de Provins restaurant in northern Paris near the Gare de l’Est railway station, told Reuters.

Trade unions covering the hospitality sector were due to meet on Friday at the Health Ministry.

Catering hall owners, along with
others from the wedding industry and brides, rallied in Hauppauge
Friday, calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to increase their capacity limits amid the
pandemic.

Catering halls want their capacity limit increased to 50%
instead of the current limit of only 50 people.

Gennaro Tallarico, who manages
Fox Hollow in Woodbury, says they are struggling
under the current regulations in place to slow the spread of COVID-19.

“To understand our business, you don’t really start making
money until you’re at about 80%,” he says. “Up until 80%, you’re basically
paying the bills.”

Tallarico says they have
taken steps at Fox Hollow to make it safe for
their guests by removing furniture to prevent people from gathering, spreading
out tables and to disallow dancing.

“These events haven’t stopped. These events moved,” says
