Restaurants align to seek government rescue plan

The Government is being urged to effectively save restaurants by covering their rent payments and fixed costs, easing their debt burden and extending the duration of existing employment support schemes.
Save Our Restaurant Coalition – a new group comprising restaurant professionals – will present its plan to the Government in the coming days in a bid to avoid thousands of business closures and anything up to 80,000 job losses due to the disruption caused by the Covid-19 outbreak.
