How easy has it been in terms of reopening?
Honestly, its been hard. It’s been a real challenge for us all, making sure that we have the finances to open and remain open, making sure we can pay our staff and finding our break even points to make sure that we can actually go ahead with what we had planned.
Overall, the whole process of reopening has been very costly for us. Making this place COVID secure has cost us more than what we perhaps first thought and has been quite a big expense, we were trying to get all these bits we needed and it just seemed that prices of all this PPE was just going up.
Even after we were ready and then reopened, we were then hit with the 10pm curfew which made things more difficult for us! It doesn’t exactly make us feel certain about what’s going to be happening in the future, the constant changes and having to adapt to them at short notice is a worry for us but something that hopefully we will be able to do.
