RUD: How Retail Venues Survive this Pandemic
How restaurants, bars, cafes, barbershops and other retail venues survive this pandemic.
As a group of experienced San Francisco restaurant and retail industry architects, contractors, and real estate brokers, we have come together to offer our insights into the current crisis facing the restaurant businesses in our city. Our common goal is to assist the San Francisco restaurant and retail community in their efforts to survive and thrive through these challenging times. This report is intended to be a working document, a basis for discussion, and a call to action based on specific recommendations for all phases of recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
