“We’ve laid off our entire company
of 115 people and closed 2 of the 3
restaurants. Our family is in here with
a limited menu trying to salvage the
company.”
Restaurant operator, Raleigh
“Both restaurants that
I’m employed with have
closed indefinitely, and
it is the same all over
the city. This will cause
certain financial hardship
for myself, my family and
the community.”
Restaurant employee,
Greensboro
“I work actively at two restaurants,
both of which closed due to COVID-19.
One may never reopen, sadly. Having
worked in the service industry for
nearly two decades,
most everyone I know
has been affected and
are now unemployed.”
Restaurant employee,
Charlotte
“Our two restaurants are
closed. 115 employees
are out of work and all
of us are facing the
uncertainty of whether
we can pay our bills, keep our homes
and our cars, and put food on our
tables.”
Restaurant operator, Asheville
