‘Restaurants Cannot Cook Their Way Out of This Crisis’

Restaurants have been hit badly by the novel coronavirus pandemic, and in ways diners may not even realize. Even as restaurants whose dining rooms have closed try to pivot to delivery or find other creative ways to stay afloat (selling off their wine cellars, turning themselves into corner stores), in many cases, it won’t be enough. There’s rent due to landlords, employee benefits to pay, suppliers who rely on you, and countless other factors.
