Restaurant owners in Colorado are busy opening up their patios and spacing out tables after receiving the much-anticipated green light to restart in-person dining. While most are excited to reopen their business, many remain cautious moving forward.
is also working to help its local restaurants by temporarily allowing them to extend their outdoor spaces onto adjacent parking lots, streets and sidewalks.
There is roughly a 13-day lag from the point of infection with Covid-19 to being hospitalized, which is the main indicator that the state health officials are tracking, he said. Restaurants in Colorado can now serve customers indoors at 50% capacity of the posted occupancy code limit or at a maximum of 50 people, whichever is less, under the new guidelines.

They are encouraged to provide as much outdoor space as possible to ensure maximum ventilation and minimize air conditioning.
Guard and Grace in Denver, a high-end steakhouse with the highest average check per person, used to be the company's most profitable restaurant. However, it wasn't among the first to reopen because of its location in downtown. "It's important that we are following the demand and the patterns of our guests, so that has been a key factor in what we chose to open," Guard said.Since March 17, which is when Polis ordered all businesses to shut down, most of Guard's restaurants have stayed closed. He recently reopened one store in Houston for dine-in service and four in Denver two weeks ago for takeout and delivery.
Small restaurant owners are experiencing even worse losses. According to a recent survey from the Colorado Restaurant Association, more than 250 restaurant operators saw an average sales decline of 76% year-over-year during the lockdown. As businesses begin to reopen and the weekly rate of new Covid-19 cases falls, more Colorado residents are leaving their homes and heading outdoors.
There's a need for businesses to send a consistent, clear message to help build consumer confidence, according to Dirk Draper, CEO of the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC. "We know that consumer confidence is an essential piece of businesses being able to reopen soon," he said.
