Restaurateurs ready to resume operations

Gastronomy is one of the industries most affected by a pandemic. Restaurateurs are counting losses and are waiting for the government's decision to lift the restrictions. They also emphasize that over the past two months they have developed high standards and procedures that will allow them to safely serve customers after resuming operations. Restaurant owners are afraid, however, that some restrictions prepared by the government will make it completely unprofitable. Meanwhile, the industry needs a restart now.

“This eight-week downtime has already cost us 70 percent of employees. These people are waiting for a return to work with us, because they have nowhere to go,” Jan Budzyński, co-owner of Kafe Zielony Niedźwiedź, alerted.

He added that survival options are already running out. Usually all past events, losses and problems with too high costs are reflected after some time. 

“Therefore, the past two months have caused us to look at June with great anxiety, which should normally be the best time for us,” Budzyński added.

Restaurants, cafés and bars remain closed from mid-March (they can only serve take-out and home delivery). This means a two-month break in operations and a radical decrease in revenues. Therefore, restaurateurs are counting losses and are eagerly awaiting the government's decision to lift the restrictions on gastronomy.
