As new restrictions on indoor seating take place as winter begins to ramp up, many Chicago restaurants are left wondering how they are to make it. Having a patio is really a privilege, having the funds to be able to turn it into igloo style spaces or completely heated is something that many restaurants can not do. In this article by Eater Chicago, restaurants vent about having wasted money restructuring their restaurants to protect their staff and customers. A large majority though were more concerned with how they were going to pay their staff and keep their doors open.
