Nationwide, Restaurants Forced to Work Around Coronavirus to Get Back on Track
In many states, restaurants are opening their doors for the first time in months as America attempts to get back on its feet. With ever changing opening rules that vary from state to state and county to county, restaurants are faced with uncertainty. One thing remains at the forefront - ensuring they do everything possible to ensure the health and safety of their customers. To help establish a safe reopening, many restaurants have adopted measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, such as using paper menus or digital menus, using disposable silverware, and requiring hand washing and social distancing. However, even with these measures in place, the majority of consumers have FOGO (Fear of Going Out).
According to a July 6th article series from Morning Consult, which collects weekly updates on consumers’ comfort levels with various leisure activities, only 35% of people currently feel comfortable going out to eat, down from 37% the week before (Article). This means that a whopping 63% of people DO NOT feel comfortable going out. With the number of COVID-19 cases rising in 40 out of 50 states (Article), restaurants are in a sticky situation.
