News Tribune, Tacoma, Wash. 12/30/2020 Kristine Sherred, The News Tribune (Tacoma, Wash.)
Dec. 30 A raucous celebration with friends at the bar comes highly un-recommended this year.
The lack of reservations, many prepaid and handsomely so, will hurt restaurants already bleeding from nine months-going-on-12 of quiet dining rooms. According to restaurant technology company Toast, nearly 9 in 10 restaurants welcomed guests on Dec. 31, 2019, raking in 20 percent more revenue that day than others in a typical December already the industry s most lucrative month.
Without those sales, New Year s Eve 2020 will be quieter in more ways than one.
