    Instead of talking about Covid-19, I decided it was time to elaborate a little on one of my most popular concepts so far on the show. Restaurants will more than likely go back to normal and be a place where sick employees are encouraged to work their shift but now our guests are more aware of sickness within a resturant and could act in our favor. I really wanted to go in more depth about the drive in concept. I did not even touch on alcohol sales but I really believe the drive in will make a epic comeback!
