YUM - In Wake of Coronavirus What Restaurants Are Open for Takeout and Delivery Only?
A number of major restaurant chains have decided to take the proactive step of offering only takeout and delivery to address concerns about gathering socially in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic. This follows some areas, including New York City, mandating that policy.
It's a move designed to encourage social distancing while also keeping the restaurants operational. That's important not just for customers who need to eat, the companies trying to at least bring in some sales, but also workers who keep earning money with less danger from being exposed to the public.
