After six and half months, hotel, restaurant an bar were opened from October 5 as per government order in unlock-5. But the owners are now waiting for the customers. It will take 15 to 20 days to run the show in a large scale as the citizens still have the fear of Covid infection.
Bar owners were of the view that there would be crowd of customers on the first day so they did not start the kitchen. They are facing problem to start the bar in full capacity as cook and other employees have not return to work yet.
Operators said that when there are crowds of customers, then gradually changes will have to be made and necessary facilities will be provided for the customers. The superintendent of the state excise department, Nagpur, has given instructions to follow the rules in the bar.
Bar operators said that guidelines have not yet been received regarding the time of keeping the bars open in Nagpur. In Mumbai, the bar is allowed to be open till 12.30 pm. If permission is allowed till 10 pm, then it will not be enough as the business of the bar is done only at night. Apart from this, the restaurant should be allowed to remain open till 11 pm. Customers will take a few more days to come with the family.
