Leaders in the restaurant industry are urging the Government to create a six-month lease forfeiture moratorium to prevent landlords from changing locks and taking control of premises for non-payment of rent.
The government has announced that the business rates holiday is to be extended to all businesses in the retail, leisure and hospitality sector for the next 12 months, to help those struggling with the ongoing Coronavirus.
Restaurant operators need to start asking themselves how they will be able to keep their staff employed while being closed for five to six weeks, according to the co-founder of Big Mamma Group.
