What will restaurants look like in a post-coronavirus industry?
By Michael Bartiromo | Fox News

   The restaurant industry — and those that rely on it for employment — have been hit especially hard by the coronavirus pandemic, with most eateries around the country being forced to limit service, lay off workers, or shut down altogether.

More than 8 million restaurant employees in the U.S. have been laid off or furloughed since the beginning of the outbreak, and the majority (61 percent) of restaurant operators say the government’s relief programs won’t prevent further cuts to the workforce, according to new numbers released by the National Restaurant Association on Monday.

The White House last week had laid out a framework for reopening businesses, workplaces and communities across the country, albeit in phases, and only after a strict set of criteria for health and safety is met within each state or region.

Restaurants and bars will technically be able to resume operations by the final phases, but what constitutes “operations” remains to be seen. After all, will restaurateurs and consumers embrace pre-coronavirus normals and standards, even in a post-coronavirus world?

Most people are learning how to cook the food themselves.  In a related development, people are lining up at the trucks to purchase Campbell's Soup by the gross.

Probably considerably fewer of them than there are now, for a starter.

The question becomes, what replaces them? Landlords are going to need their rent money, too.

Like any business considered non-essential during the past couple of months, whether barbers, fitness centers or in this case restaurants, there will be fewer of them and they will have to change.

Beauticians may have to go into houses with precautions a hospital may take, and maybe movie theaters will revert back to drive-ins.

I would think some restaurants might just disappear totally or adapt to no seating, take out only.

Perhaps restaurants with a new post-viral-version of "booths"?
Tables that are completely "separated" from one another, closed off with barriers (of plastic or something else), to isolate each small group of diners from the others...?
