KITCHENER The food service industry is facing more uncertainty and hardship amid the latest COVID-19 shutdown. According to the not-for-profit association Restaurants Canada said 100,000 jobs have been lost in Ontario s food service industry since the pandemic began. The association is now calling on the province to pick up the $100 million dollar tab for the shutdowns. Restaurants were forced to close for both indoor and outdoor dining under the latest province-wide shutdown. “It’s complete decimation,” said Adam Cole, the operator of both Prohibition Warehouse and Kentucky Bourbon in Waterloo. “You re down to 10 per cent of what it would have been, especially with this nice weather.”
