“My business operates 79

restaurants with over 3,000

employees. The actions taken to

combat COVID-19 have resulted

in a 70% reduction in

revenue and is forcing

us to close restaurants

and layoff employees at

an accelerating pace.”

Restaurant operator, Draper

“I’m a server at a

restaurant who

depends on the job for my income

and I am currently out of a job

and don’t know when, or if, my

restaurant will open again.”

Restaurant employee, Salt Lake City

“I am a single mother of a 2 year-

old and I’m out of a job for an

indefinite amount of time with no

money.”

Restaurant employee, Cottonwood Heights

“My restaurant is

closed and my 40+

employees are unem-

ployed with no way to

support their families.

After being in business

since 1983, this may

well be the end.”
