What does the 10 PM closing mean for a restaurant in Chicago? Potentially more than rolling back to 25% occupancy.

Depending on the length of a menu you give up seating anyone past your typical turn time. If 2 hours, then your last patron is seated at 8PM. /1

In turn, that means that you can& #39;t do a 5 PM / 7 PM / 9 PM turn on that table. If you have a 3 hour turn like Alinea / Next, that means that you get 1 staggered seating.

For many occupancy is less damaging than total hrs open

I agree with the science but not the implementation

it is actually better to allow restaurants (non bars) to serve from 4 to 12, spacing out a greater number of patrons over a greater time frame. Safer and better economically.

And then REQUIRE reservations, no lines, and contact tracing for all guests, not just reservation holders. @tock can easily accomplish this and we& #39;ve already committed to give the service free until April 2021 in underserved communities.
