‘We have no concern’: Texas restaurants can open at 100% capacity

HOUSTON – The Texas Restaurant Association is calling the governor’s executive order to reopen the state a light at the end of the tunnel for the restaurant industry.
Since the pandemic began, about 11,000 restaurants shuttered across the state and 2,000 in Houston, according to the local chapter of the restaurant association.
“Any opportunity to get more people into the restaurants is increased revenue, more opportunity for some of these restaurants that are holding on. It will give them another day,” said the president of the Greater Houston chapter of the Restaurant Association, Cameron James. “We were already held to an incredibly high standard as far as health and safety. We have no concern that we will be able to continue that at 100%.”
