in order to provide some additional outdoor seating space without requiring restaurants to play a complicated game of Tetris with their tables and chairs.
to seat no more than six people at a single table, to limit any gathering to 10 people or less, and to move to reservation-only dining.Tock, the restaurant reservation and food ordering platform that was launched by Chicago restaurateur Nick Kokonas, is reportedly preparing a "'library' of coronavirus-related questions" that restaurant guests may be asked to answer before they visit one of their favorite local spots.
The contact information that each customer provides—including a phone number or email address—could also be useful in contact-tracing efforts, if a patron is later diagnosed with coronavirus. "Not only is this safe in the current environment, but it also saves both the guests and the restaurant a lot of time and needless interactions,” Kokonas told. “Waiving down the waitperson, dropping the check, getting the credit card, running it, dropping it back down, getting the gratuity, and re-punching the tip in the [point-of-sale]—all of that is subject to time, error, and potential fraud—that should all be gone.
