OWENSBORO, Ky. (WFIE) - Owensboro restaurants are struggling after multiple COVID-19 shutdowns.
On Monday, indoor dining at Kentucky restaurants will be allowed to open to 50% capacity. Some restaurant owners tell 14 News that 50% is not enough to make a profit.
Restaurant owners across the commonwealth have had to close and open up shop numerous times because of pandemic shutdowns.
“So you come in (and) close - you’re laying your employees off literally the next day,” Patrick Bosley, co-owner of the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn said. “You’re stuck with walk-ins and stores of food.”
