3/16/2020

0 Comments

 
On Monday, Governor Lamont announced that for the foreseeable future restaurants and bars may only offer takeout, curbside pickup, and delivery to their customers. Scott Dolch, Executive Director of the Connecticut Restaurant Association, issued the following statement:

“Weeks ago, Connecticut restaurants began doubling down on cleaning procedures in order to protect our customers and our employees. In the wake of Governor Lamont’s announcement, local restaurant owners will continue to offer safe, clean service to customers via takeout, curbside pickup and delivery. In the weeks ahead, we look forward to returning to full service once this difficult period has passed, so that our industry can continue to be an enormous economic driver for the state, and continue to employ tens of thousands of people throughout Connecticut.”

Additional Background Info:
  •  There are more than 8,500 eating and drinking establishments across Connecticut
  • Connecticut’s restaurant industry employs more than 160,000 people, part of a local hospitality industry that accounts for 10 percent of the state workforce
  • Nationally, 50 percent of the U.S. food dollar comes through the restaurant industry
