โWe have no concernโ: Texas restaurants can open at 100% capacity
HOUSTON โ The Texas Restaurant Association is calling the governorโs executive order to reopen the state a light at the end of the tunnel for the restaurant industry. โAny opportunity to get more people into the restaurants is increased revenue, more opportunity for some of these restaurants that are holding on. Greg Abbott announced that all Texas businesses can open at 100% capacity beginning March 10. It is now time to open Texas 100%,โ Abbott said. Abbott explained that a business is not mandated to reopen at 100%, but now it is the restaurant ownerโs choice.
