Hospitality Alliance unveils 9-point plan for NYC Restaurants and Nightclubs in response to COVID-19
March 16, 2020, 6:22.01 pm ET
In response to COVID-19, New York State mandated that effective Monday, March 16th at 8:00PM restaurants and bars must close. These businesses will be permitted to provide take-out and delivery food only. Clubs and bars with no food will be required to fully close.
Businesses have begun to shutter and lay off workers. Restaurants and bars that operate delivery and take-out only are reducing worker hours and many cannot sustain their operations for an extended period of time.
While we commend our leaders in state and local government for their attention and around-the-clock efforts to keep our city stable, immediate action is necessary to sustain our businesses and their employees during this state of emergency.
In this spirit we present an updated 9-Point Mitigation and Support Plan for NYC Restaurants and Nightlife Establishments in response to COVID-19. To see the plan click here
