Can't keep staff on forever if you can't serve your customers. Working at 25% capacity might require a 75% cut in employees, if you can stay in business.

Non-sustainable run-rate at 25% capacity. This is the tip of the iceberg and is already in full-stride for the smaller eateries. Small businesses everywhere are getting decimated.

" More than 270 workers are set to lose their jobs at the award-winning chef's restaurants this month due to the coronavirus contrived hysteria over the coronavirus."

Gee, that was unexpected. /s

Well she better be paying the remaining staff a “livable wage” of at least $15/hr.

Chicago sinks it's own Dem quicksand.

Sad.

Be interesting to know political party affiliation of all the negatively affected, eh?

How many windows do the restaurants still have? It’s not very appetizing sitting behind plywood in the window frames.

“Can we get a table with a view please?”

Chicago is a huge town for Corporate entertainment. Some of the big businesses there invite clients from all over the world to visit their HQ and then go out for fine dining. I’ve been there many times for this kind of thing.

That, is DEAD. I have in fact notified several companies that I can no longer attend events in places where safety is a serious concern.

Chicago is in for a very ugly downward spiral. In fact, the company that I last visited there has moved HQ to Texas, and is rapidly removing all ops from Chicago.

I’ve been to Girl and the Goat. I think the reservation waiting list back when I was there in 2018 was about 3 months.

Laying off so many workers likely means they are NOT reopening.

Restaurant entrepreneurs are the hardest working people I know. To see them getting hammered like this is so very sad.

Let's start calling a spade a spade instead of blaming this euphemistic corona virus causing these closings and layoffs.

These people are losing their jobs, not because of the virus but because of colossal bad decisions by local politicians and their so-called health experts in their local governments.

These restaurant closings were overt decisions made by the government picking winners and losers. And we all know how that always works out.

There are locales in other states where restaurants have opened back up or at least allowed them to do business again. Keeping the places closed or only allowing them to operate at 25% of capacity is a death knoll by design.

They have shot themselves in the collective foot.

Girl & Goat - Little Goat Dinner insanely over priced. Plus all staffed by the woke crowd. White Males over 50 not welcomed at any of these “hip” restaurants.

Great opportunity for government run soup kitchens to open up across the city. /s

And her, and most of the cut staff, will vote for Hiden.
