Chinanews.com, August 31. According to the US "World Journal" report, restaurant operators affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic have found new ways. Some have moved their catering outdoors and their business has improved a lot. Recently, the Monterey Park government in Los Angeles, California announced that 19 restaurants and a barber shop in the city have obtained outdoor business licenses, and the industry also said that outdoor operations have given restaurants a chance to rebirth.
The NBC Seafood Restaurant on Atlantic Blvd is the first approved outdoor dining restaurant in Mongolia. General Manager Chen Changhe said that after starting the outdoor dining business, many guests came, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. Many guests from other cities have come to Mongolia to dine. After ordering in the lobby, guests can go to the dining table set at the entrance of the restaurant. The reason for actively applying for the outdoor dining business is to survive the epidemic. It is mentioned that applying for an outdoor business license is very fast, and the application takes about two days.
Manager He of another Tang Gong Seafood Restaurant in Mongolia said that the restaurant has been closed since the outbreak in March and did not reopen until August 28 when an outdoor dining area was added. Tang Palace Seafood Restaurant is located on the second floor of the square, and the space outside the restaurant is wide enough for tables. At present, there are more than 20 tables. The business is good, and because of the roof shading, the guests are more comfortable to eat.
Rao Yingfan, deputy mayor of Mongolia, said that businesses who want to apply for outdoor business can fill out the application form online. The application form needs to attach a map of outdoor business to show the location of the table and the social distance of each table. In addition, the fire protection of outdoor business must meet the standards. Firefighters will come to the business to check whether the fire protection is qualified. This process usually takes a few days. The business that passes the inspection will obtain an outdoor business license. The current license is valid until the end of the year. Rao Yingfan said that the city government will decide whether businesses should continue outdoor operations based on the epidemic until the end of the year.
Rao Yingfan said that when Meng City launched an outdoor business license application, businesses were not very active. Later, the government promoted it by sending letters and calling, hoping to attract businesses. At that time, employees of the city government had sent out hundreds of letters, but it was possible that the business could not speak English, so the application was difficult.
Rao Yingfan said that compared to restaurants, barber shops are actually easier to apply. She hopes that more barber shops can apply for outdoor operations in the future. She said that the main businesses that can apply for outdoor business are restaurants and barber shops. (Wang Ruoran)
