Indoor Dining Welcomed During Freezing Temps
Below freezing temps and heavy snowfall in the area has made it timely for dining indoors. Deschutes County’s COVID-19 restrictions were eased letting local restaurants reopen today on a limited capacity.
“The health and safety of our guests and employees remains top priority in the Old Mill District,” said Beau Eastes, Marketing Director for the Old Mill District. “Our restaurants have been working diligently to create plans that ensure the comfort and safety of indoor diners. Several will be able to open right away on February 12, while we expect many others to follow suit in the weeks to come.”
A few days notice makes for scramble for supplies, contacting workers
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) The managers and workers at many restaurants in Deschutes County are moving fast, preparing to reopen for limited indoor dining on Friday. We re happy to be reopening. We re in a bit of a time crunch, but I think we ll all rise to the challenge, Greg s Grill Manager Andre Gregoriou said Wednesday.
Gregoriou said there have been some obstacles with the state giving only a few days notice of the move from Extreme to High Risk. Obviously getting our staff back is an issue, two days notice for anything is not enough time, he explained.
