SAN DIEGO â A trendy Little Italy restaurant is making a permanent move to fast-casual as Coronavirus restrictions persist and the minimum wage rises to $14 on New Years Day.
Cloak & Petal, a Japanese sushi and tapas restaurant on India Street, will not shift back to full service even when the restrictions lift. Restaurant managing partner Cesar Vallin said in an interview that Cloak & Petal has experimented with the system four times amid the pandemic, and found that the order amounts are similar, tips increased, and labor costs dropped.
