Many restaurants have moved to delivery and takeout only, with dine-in no longer being an option. Some restaurants that previously did not have takeout or delivery available have been forced to change their model in order to stay open. Starting a business is risky, especially in the field of food. We do have plenty of options to choose where to eat, but our local restaurants' owners depend on us to make their living. Moreover, during this stressful time, those restaurants with owners who are immigrants highly need our help as they are living in a different country, using the language that is not their mother tongue but also managing their business and trying to support their family.
