Hi, I'm Paula Forbes. I'm a freelance writer working on a a story for the Texas Observer. If you prefer to email me, I'm at paula.forbes@gmail.com. Here are some questions but I'm curious about whatever you have to say:

How is the current crisis affecting your restaurant?

Is your dining room open? Selling takeout? Cubrside/delivery? Groceries? Meal kits? How did you redesign your menu? Or did you close entirely?

Are you an employee who is working right now? Do you feel safe? Do you wish you didn't have to work right now, or are you glad for the opportunity? Does your employer pay for sick leave?

What do you wish the government would do? Either local, statewide, or national? Have you struggled with applying for SBA loans? Were you able to secure funding?

What do you want restaurants to look like after this? What do you worry they will look like after this?

What do you wish people knew about your situation?
