Despite permission to reopen in the United States, some restaurants did not open their doors

120 restaurants in the US state of Georgia did not open canteens claiming it was “unsafe” despite the state administration’s permit on April 26.

According to the Business Insider report, people who did not open their dining rooms in Atlanta, the capital of the state of Georgia, made a joint statement and said: “We believe that the best dining rooms should be closed at this time for our employees, our guests, our society and our industry. “

Among the owners and chefs of these restaurants, who came together through the establishment of an initiative, are the award-winning chefs and the CEO of Castellucci Hospitality Group, Fred Castellucci.

Some restaurant chains in the state also opened dining rooms this week.

In his email to Business Insider, Castellucci stated that his decisions are based on data from public health officials. Affirming that if the number of cases decreases, they will review their decisions, Castellucci said that in this case they can implement the reopening plan.

OPENING IS NOT PROFITABLE

Bo Peabody, one of the founders of Seated, made the reservation request, and helped prepare the new health and safety directive prepared before restaurants reopen in the state, said a restaurant open in these conditions will not be able to obtain profit, and that he does not plan to open the restaurant any time soon.

In that directive, restaurants are asked to work at 50 percent capacity.
