As the coronavirus pandemic drags into its 11th month, there is still no end in sight for forced closures and restrictions that have upended the restaurant industry. In fact, things are getting worse, with several states imposing new shutdowns last fall that have yet to be lifted or eased. The latest government report shows layoffs in accommodation and food service totaled 393,000 for the month of November, up from 130,000 in October.
The situation is unsustainable, according to Jonathan Horowitz, CEO of Convive Hospitality Consulting and former president of the Houston Restaurant Association. There are a lot of small businesses restaurants in particular that are just hanging on, he says. Businesses weren t set up to operate at 50 percent capacity or 75 percent capacity, and if the revenue is not there, they just can t hang on forever.

But in the season premiere, Keenan didn’t get much of a chance to talk to our Bachelor about contemporary art or much of anything at all. After handing James a snow globe of New York to symbolize their shared hometown, Kit was interrupted by Victoria, the founder of a spray-tanning company who arrived aloft on a throne carried by four guys, tiara on head, insisting on being called “Queen Victoria.”
“Excuse me princess, but the
queen is here,” Victoria said to Kit and Matt, crashing their one-on-one moment.

No industry has probably been hit harder financially in 2020 than restaurants. Nationwide, tens of thousands of restaurants had to close their doors for good. The pandemic, lockdowns, and the economic downturn all had an impact. Locally, however, many were been able to adapt.
“We’ve seen an extreme increase in the level of technology that’s used by restaurants, whether that’s online ordering or third party delivery to try and make it as easy as possible for consumers, Jonathan Horowitz, the founder of Convive Hospitality Consulting, told KTRH.
Horowitz says third party delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats have been helpful in keeping businesses afloat. To be successful long-term, however, he says restaurants need in-person dining. He says future lockdowns would be devastating.
