Pansi places “currently discontent” among his colleagues: “This first positive sign of openness is overshadowed by general conditions. Many small businesses are reaching their spatial and economic limits. We are going from bad to worse.”
Neither Pansi nor Venturiello believe there will be a big wave of openings in the restaurant industry on Monday. “Unlocking it soon will be more expensive than letting it in,” says the division president, who will not open his own fine dining establishment in Hohenems. “I always open at 6:30 pm. That doesn’t make sense,” says Pansi.
Venturiello, meanwhile, will reopen from Monday: “But I’m driving on three tracks, and I will continue to offer takeout and delivery.” But many would not have this option at all. “You don’t need to bring takeout to the mountain,” says Venturiello.
ÖGB is also essential
The federal government was criticized for its “courageous gastronomic openness” by the ÖGB. The president of the state of Vorarlberg, Reinhard Stemmer, wished that measures were taken in gastronomy, “that do not endanger the staff and the guests, but at the same time ensure jobs and the survival of the industry.” “If companies are considering whether it makes sense to open, then you’ve done something wrong,” says Stemmer.
