5 Recommendations for Restaurants Reopening While COVID-19 Is Still Active
The restaurant industry in the United States—and worldwide—is still battling the COVID-19 pandemic.

Even though restrictions are being lifted in some areas, it’s a grim picture for many, and it has left restaurants scrambling for ways to stay afloat without any idea of what tomorrow might bring. But there are clear steps that restaurant operators can take today to lay the foundation—or at least the hope—for staying open long enough to see the other side of the crisis.
