Restaurant owners react to guidelines recommending they go contactless Austin Public Health says a failure to implement Stage 5 recommendations could result in stricter measures. AUSTIN, Texas - A request from Austin Public Health for restaurants to move to curbside and delivery only as the city transitions into the Stage 5 risk category hasn't been well received by the Texas Restaurant Association. "You can't ask people to lose their entire livelihood, their entire business they've built over the years, with no evidence that that will actually help," said Kelsey Erickson Streufert, vice president of government relations and advocacy for the Texas Restaurant Association.
