Restaurants are facing multiple issues in reopening on July the 4th. What are they?


PM’s announcement of the reopening of #restaurants and #pubs on the 4th of July was welcome by most of the restaurant owners. Sadly, the City of London is still a ghost city and restaurant owners are not as optimistic as they wanted to be. Following are the reasons:
1. The theatres are not open;
2. The cinemas are open with social distancing; 
3. Most of the office workers are working from home; 
4. Tourists are not coming as there is a compulsory isolation rule for tourists.
So not many people are coming to the city

On top of that

5. Restaurant owners will get no rent deduction from landlords or rent grant from the government
6. VAT and Business rates could be delayed but still a burden to the owners
7. Staff will come to work, and the furlough scheme is ending slowly and soon.
8. Those who have taken bounce back loan is also a burden to them (Maybe not now but surely in a year time)
9.  London Mayor Sadik Khan has introduced a congestion charge of £15 from 7 am to 10 pm 7 days a week
10. #Coronavirus (#Covid-19) Pandemic is not over yet as Leicester city has gone to lockdown again;
11. Some scientists suggested that we relaxed the lockdown earlier. The US could have 100,000 cases per day from 40,000 per day due to the early relaxation of lockdown.
12. Restaurants and pubs must prepare for Covid-19 secure; and
13. Last but not least, we are going through #Brexit


On this basis, some high profile restaurant owners have written an open letter signed by St. John owners Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver, as well as Angela Hartnett, chef-owner of the Michelin-starred Mayfair Italian restaurant Murano, Geoff Leong of Chinatown institution Leong’s Legend, the Galvin brothers, and critic Tom Parker Bowles, says that “July 4th is no silver bullet for London Town, hidden by scenes of mobbed urban parks and commons and the crazy seaside on our screens. The center of London remains a ghost town,"

They have called for Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan “to sort out their differences” and to come together to provide businesses with “specific support and action now.”

Deliveroo boss Will Shu warns on the future of the restaurant industry




#Restaurants are 'hurting' due to the coronavirus pandemic warned #Deliveroo boss. He said to #BBC “Even if restrictions are lifted soon, there's going to be a long period of socially-distanced dining". He added that "Covid-19 really has marked a new era of delivery. Since we started Deliveroo, there's been this incredible adoption towards online and apps. But I think Covid-19 has brought forward this consumer behavior by about one to three years."

Their company will suffer financially cause their customers (Restaurants). During the lockdown, Deliveroo has expanded their business as lots more restaurants went to takeaway only and offer delivery services. But they are more concerned about the future of the restaurant business because of #coronavirus and social distancing.

Restaurants, #cafes #pubs are reopening on 4th July 2020.

New guidance for UK hospitality sector to reopen. What are they?





PM is under enormous pressure from MPs and business leaders to open the #restaurants #pubs, #clubs #cafes #hotels, and all #hospitality sectors ASAP. The British Beers and Pubs Association (BBPA) which includes 47,000 pubs and 2,000 brewers have demanded a clear confirmed date for re-opening to the government. They argued that this will enable them to prepare for the #Coronavirus / #Covid-19 safety procedures to be in place.

The new guidance will include the procedures of establishing social distancing such as organizational capacity, queue management, signage, markings, etc. It will advise how to use enhanced hand hygiene measures and cleaning practice and employers' training and equality issues. Some of the guidance is as follows:


Pubs:
1. The table must be set up as per government guidance;
2. Number of customers allowed in the pub must restricted by their space;
3. Customers will be discouraged to order at the bar but will be delivered to the tables;
4. Surfaces, door handle, bar counter must clean hourly; and
5. They might be allowed to serve alcohol at the street or on the pavement


Restaurants:
1. From the pub section, serial number 1, to 4 also applies to the restaurants;
2. Limited menus;
3. Disposable paper menus than permanently laminated menus


Hotels:
1. Guests to use lift instead of stairs;
2. Use more room service;
3. Avoid restaurants dining; and
4. Guests falling ill must self-isolate in their room and meals will be provided in their room with disposable plates and cutleries.


Gyms and Spas:
1. No overcrowding; and
2. Must observe social distancing.


Physiotherapists, masseurs, pedicurists, and manicurists:
1. Must wear full protective gear.


Nightclubs:
No declaration yet, dance floors pose a big challenge.

Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden told BBC Radio 4 that the review the prime minister ordered into the two-meter social distancing rule for England would be concluded “within the coming days”, while Whitehall officials confirmed the outcome is expected next week.


PM is expected to announce next week on pubs, cafes, restaurants, and hotels – with a reopening date on 4th July 2020.

PM Ordered two-metre social distancing review

PM Ordered two-metre social distancing review


Foreign minister Dominic Raab informed on Monday the 15th June 2020 that "important progress" had been made in the fight against the #COVID-19 pandemic but that the country is not yet "out of the woods".


He added that "we can't just pretend that #coronavirus has gone away or we've eliminated the virus. And we know from the science and also from what we're seeing from international experience, that there is a risk of a second spike if we're not very careful". And the government is taking "modest and careful steps" and that it is "very carefully monitoring the impact they have on the virus".


90 #restaurant and food chain bosses including #Wagamama and #Pizza #Hut, #Itsu, Pret A Manger have warned the prime minister the #hospitality sector faces mass job cuts without more help and plea to PM for help to avoid “Grave Damage”. This letter was organized by #Deliveroo which said: "Without government support to help restaurants to generate revenue and cover costs, tens of thousands of restaurants may be forced to permanently close their doors in the coming months. "This crisis is far from over and the potential consequences are deeply concerning. A huge number of restaurants across the country are facing the prospect of bankruptcy." They asked for slashing VAT on restaurant food and maintaining the Job Retention Scheme for restaurants while #social #distancing measures are in place.


Boris Johnson has ordered a review into the two-metre social distancing rule, continuing his drive to relax it against current epidemiological advice in the U.K. Chancellor Rishi Sunak said that the review will necessarily include input from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE,) ministers will take the final decision about restaurants, pubs, and bars. PM’s official spokesman said that the government has commissioned a comprehensive review into the two-metre rule that would "look at the evidence around the transmission of the virus in different environments, incidence rates, and international comparisons". Ministers have said the review will be completed "in the coming weeks".

Restaurants, Pubs and Cafes cannot survive with two-metre social distancing. Why? See below:


Restaurants, Pubs and Cafes cannot survive with two-metre social distancing. Why? See below:



#Restaurants, #Pubs and #Cafes are the place where people gather for meeting, and socializing. Most of the restaurants, pubs and cafes operate in a very small and tight place. Only 11% of the hospitality business were operating normally during the #Coronavirus (#Covid-19) lockdown. Now Government has imposed with two-metre social distancing once the restaurants, pubs and cafes will be allowed to open. With two-metre social distancing rule, hospitality sectors can accommodate only 30% of their total capacity. This sector cannot even come to breakeven point by serving 30% of their customers. If the social distancing is reduced to one metre, this sector can accommodate 50% to 60% of their capacity and reach to the breakeven point with the revenue they can earn. Hospitality sector and related to this sector have been hit hard during the lockdown. Hospitality sector is the 5th largest employer in the country and if the sector fail, 3.50 million jobs will be at risk. There are renewed calls to relax the social distancing rules from two metre to one metre. Still, this decision is up to the government whether they will relax the rule and save the hospitality sector or not.
