What Alaska is doing for restaurants

[Knightrofins]

[FONT=&quot]Here's what Alaska is doing as it reopens restaurants Monday. What do you think?
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]• You can only go to a restaurant as a household, with no other guests at your table. And you have to make a reservation first — no walk-ins allowed.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]• Restaurants can only be filled to 25% of their capacity at once.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]• For outdoor dining, there can’t be more than 20 tables and they have to be at least 10 feet apart.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]• Restaurant employees need to wear masks, and condiments need to be in individual packets or bottles that are sanitized between customers.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]• Sanitizer should be at each table or at the restaurant’s entrance.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]• In Anchorage, restaurants need to keep a log book with the names and phone numbers of customers from the past 30 days, to aid in possible future contact tracing.


Interesting and doable.

Thoughts??

25% of capacity will close most restaurants unless doing mega take
out

Yep

 

[Knightrofins]

yes

but that has nothing to do with eating at restaurants

Maybe 25% just for a little bit before than can increase? Maybe a restaurant will now open because of this and since they’re open, they can do takeout as well?

just trying to be an optimist as I’m trying to figure out how we’re gonna open up down here (and when we’ll feel comfortable)

People relying on the restaurant industry to pay their bills should be looking for other income streams and means to support themselves.

That’s absolutely crazy sounds like the police force in Cheech and Chong . Operation go gettem. Homing pigeon come in homing pigeon this is mother goose. Give me the whirly bird unit operation go gettem now let’s go gettem.

Being an optimist is one thing, but I think one needs to look at reality. Some of the restaurants in my neck of the woods are currently doing take out. But if you're going to open the doors and have customers, there are certain fixed costs that you won't be able to avoid. 25% occupancy is just not going to do it and you're not going to make up the other 75% with take out business. This is just not feasible.

Nope. Not happening unless can really reinvent themselves.

One of my buddies said of his places anything under 100 seats is not worth opening back up


another has 354 per his restaurants and now having to go down to around 150

with 354 seats he would have forty min to hour waits on Thurs-Sat.

Now trying to turn 100-150 seats

Have to really cut over head and possible the finer meats and ingredients to cheaper that bring the customers in

I might not open from being closed, but if I'm already doing take out than this can help

Furthermore, some restaurants might only hit 25% when it's not peak season, won't be so bad in those cases

It's a first step, probably something we could have done from day 1

They better hope the 25% are heavy drinkers....that’s how restaurants survive.....

That certainly helps, a packed bar

 

[StevieRay]

Thing is bar stools at restaurants will be taken out to allow for seating distance at the bar. Imagine sitting 5-6’ from your buddy’s watching a game

 

[Michelangelo]

The same kind of clueless bureaucrat made those rules, just like the clueless bureaucrats who shut things down the way they did to begin with.

No restaurant can succeed with those rules in place.

This concept would work in south Florida.

From Mother’s Day until Labor Day, it’s the slowest time of the year for restaurants anyway.

people don’t come here for summer vacation and the snow birds are back up north

back to Alaska. It’s summer time. How many hours of daylight a day do they get around now? Would people start going out to eat at 11pm??

Think about conventions in Orlando. Restaurants usually booked months in advance. That’s of course if conventions will be held. Hate to see what happens there , usually packed booths , fave to face talk and lots of hugs and handshakes

I ain’t skeered

Most restaurants can not survive on 25% capacity.......their margin is usually between 5 to 10%

 

[TheComputerGroup]

The only places that survive are possible food trucks, fast food places like McD's, Wendy's, Burger King, Dominoes, etc.......
