Dear Business Owner
You may recall during the stay-at-home order we conducted a consumer survey that resulted in more than 700 consumers sharing concerns about spacing between tables as restaurants reopened post COVID-19. We were able to share those findings with you so you could adapt your plans to demonstrate your sensitivity to the concerns expressed by your customers.
We are reaching out to Restaurant/Bar
Owners and Managers to ask about your concerns now that dine in service is returning. We have developed a brief survey for you to express your concerns about reopening.
If y
ou reside somewhere between I've got this and I'm not sure how we're going to make it; Central Illinois has long been a bellwether for sentiment and concerns. Take a moment to share your thoughts here.
Restaurant Concern Survey
Restaurants, Bars and local entertainment all contribute to the quality of life we experience here in the region. We are committed to support your industry as much as we can. Please respond asap. We expect to close this survey within the next 10 days.
We will report back our findings.
