The seafood restaurant behind where my son and I live closed down. It seemed a hasty decision to me. Due to Covid 19 all businesses were forced to close down for two weeks. The first places to be allowed to open were supermarkets. Then mini markets, grocery stores and wet markets. Restaurants one by one reopened, most are for take out only initially. By the time businesses were returning to normal, the seafood restaurant opened for take out, in less than a week, it decided to close for good.
My landlady said it was not hasty decision, rental was $1800. Workers, even at half pay, probably cost at least $3500. Then water bills and electricity bills run on and had to be paid. Even little or no usage meant minimum payment. She said the boss has been losing at least $15,000 for that three months of closure. The boss decided to give up the shop and go on to selling seafood wholesale operating from his home.
