Scott Engelman is the chairman of the Colorado Restaurant Association. He owns Truffle Pig and Carl’s Tavern in Steamboat Springs. The economics for many restaurants are questionable even at 50 percent capacity, he said. Nonetheless, allowing indoor dining at any capacity will help bring in badly needed revenue, even if it doesn’t translate to much in terms of profits, he said.
“We need to take what we can get right now,” Engleman said.
Restaurants in Mesa County have been operating under a state-approved variance for several months, so restaurant owner Josh Niernberg said the announcement might not make a big difference. He owns three restaurants in Grand Junction, Bin 707, Taco Party and Binburger.
“I don't think that it's going to do as much for Mesa County as it is for the rest of the state,” he said. “That said, I think what it will do for the rest of the state is absolutely huge and I'm really happy to see it being implemented.”
Gyms are also set to increase capacity levels from 10 percent to 25 percent under the new guidelines. Cory Brightwell is the CEO of Chuze Fitness, with seven locations in the Denver metro area. He says lifting capacity restrictions to 25 percent will help both large health clubs and small studios to potentially break even.
“This will allow many operators to survive through a few more months … of tough times,” Brightwell said. “But even 25 percent is having one hand tied behind the back.”
