that forced many to go out of business because there werent enough business to stay open. people didnt want outdoor seating or delivery from sit down restaurants. so yeah, covid restrictions annihilated private business/restaurants
No one is saying that! But, we are saying there wasn’t a good plan in place to compensate these restaurant owners. When they got to reopen rent was upped and food costs were up. They had zero breathing room. This industry was hit the hardest.

Restaurants weren't closed for a year or anything even close to that.
