Restaurants try to save Mother's Day business after sudden changes to public health orders

  WINNIPEG -- New public health orders were handed down from the province Friday evening, and starting Sunday, restaurants in Manitoba will only be able to offer takeout. The news comes as a huge blow to many restaurants in the province that were gearing up for a busy Mother's Day. Jarrett Bargen, manager of Falafel Place on Corydon, said the restaurant is barely hanging on under current health regulations, which allows them to operate at 50 percent capacity.

  WINNIPEG -- As the normal dinner rush would have gotten underway Friday evening, Manitoba announced new restrictions closing in-person dining at restaurants, bars, and patios. “The only word I can say is decimation,” said Shaun Jeffrey, executive director of the Manitoba Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “This is going to be absolutely destructive to the restaurant industry here in Manitoba.” Jeffrey said restaurants have been teetering on survival over the last 14 months, and this latest round of restrictions will likely result in 15,000 Manitobans being put out of work. “It’s a pretty sombre day in our industry.” Chief Provincial Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin said restaurants, bars, and patios can still provide take-out and delivery services.

Manitoba clamps down, but doesn't lock down, after COVID-19 cases soar

Manitoba is beefing up restrictions in an attempt to knock down surging COVID-19 cases, just as hospital ICUs fill up and the test positivity rate skyrockets. Dr. Brent Roussin, Manitoba’s chief public health officer, announced strict new public health orders Friday night, hours after health officials announced 502 new cases of the virus and raised the alarm about a rapid increase of sick Manitobans being admitted to critical care units. "Today's case numbers are certainly going in that wrong direction," said Roussin, noting more stringent restrictions will take effect at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, and will last for three weeks. "In the latter part of the week, we have seen a dramatic rise in cases, and that's translating into a dramatic rise in ICU numbers. These are some of the highest daily numbers we have seen in the 15 months. We have to take these strong actions now to protect our health-care system, to protect Manitobans.

Local eateries offering their own delivery service

Winnipeg Free Press LOCAL restaurants are seeking to encourage patrons to skip the large multinational food delivery services. The Manitoba Restaurant and Foodservices Association bought the Let’s Order Delivery website (letsorder.delivery) in an effort to give Winnipeggers a single stop to find out which restaurants offer their own delivery service, as well as other options, such as curbside pickup or takeout. Shaun Jeffrey, association executive director and chief executive officer, said it’s to counter the "ludicrous" amount major food delivery services charge restaurants — especially when many of those businesses have their own delivery service patrons might not know about.

Someone offers a three-word dinner suggestion: "Let’s order in." While it may be because no one in the house wants to cook, the suggestion can be bolstered if necessary by an appeal to the greater good: we’re commendably community-minded when we support Manitoba’s eateries that have been hard hit by pandemic restrictions.
