The 2 restaurant owners I know, can't get their employees to come back to work when the government is paying them $939/week to NOT work. One told me that he would have to guarantee each employee $24/hr for 8 hours per day to even get them to consider it....

Seems like there's ways around this. Open with limited menu with limited staff and use your PPP to bonus the worthy employees who come back. They could still open.

Like in bar rescue they always trim down the menu to just a couple things that are quicker to turn around with just 1 schmuck in the kitchen, then the owner waits the tables and pours drinks (20% capacity). Seems doable.

Put up help wanted sign, cut off the benefits of the shite people.
