Meanwhile, larger chains like Tim Hortons and Starbucks are taking away dine-in seating.
Tim Hortons said Monday, “Starting on March 17, restaurants will focus on take-out, drive-thru and delivery service (where available) and will close all dining room seating until further notice.”
On Sunday, Starbucks said it would be moving to a “to go” model in all of its stores across the U.S. and Canada for at least two weeks.
In accordance with social distancing guidance from the CDC and public health authorities, we are temporarily closing stores in some locations, and moving the majority of our company-operated stores to a “to go” model across the U.S. and Canada. https://t.co/U5M01tcwDL pic.twitter.com/9Y9AD50pPw
