Add another task for the workers at Minnesota restaurants.
They'll have to find a place to put up tables and chairs for the influx of customers who want to sit down and eat, now that Gov. Walz is allowing 75% capacity after turning back the dial on Minnesota's economy and social life.
"We've taken out half our tables and taken out half our chairs," said Francesca Colliard, whose family owns Key's Cafe in Roseville. "We'd have to look at the plans again to make sure that we're abiding with the restrictions."
Colliard said regular customers have been very good complying with pandemic restrictions, but in-store business has been starting to lag in recent weeks.
"It'll make people feel more comfortable in dining," she said about reopening much of their dining area. "And we'll be able to serve more people."
She said the wait staff at Key's will see a big difference.
"It's been up and down, we used to have a pretty consistent business," Colliard said. "We're hoping that we're going to be able to level out and find a pattern again."
Like all restaurants, Keys has managed to stay open the past year with take-out and pick-up orders.
And with vaccine distribution exceeding expectations and hospitalizations leveling off, 100% restaurant capacity might be close to reality.
"I hope so," Colliard said.
