Some small restaurants here have closed their dining area and are operating only for pick up and take out orders. They pay lesser rent that way because the dine-in area is not used and there is a blockade (purportedly by the owner).
I think that is a good idea because most of the fast food outlets are operating by delivery and dining in is not lucrative anymore. Building owners have agreed to lesser rent in consideration of the pandemic situation that covid protocols have made it difficult for restaurants to accommodate the usual number of customer. The sales have been reduced drastically and instead of closing shop they are now surviving by pick up and take out only. Some restaurants do not want a delivery system for it entails more managerial concerns. With pick up and take out the mode is easier to handle.
