The delta variant means no one’s giving up their pandemic business models just yet (via eaterpdx)
. Many of the owners of restaurants and cafes that had planned to reopen for indoor dining by the end of July are hoping to be able to reopen before the winter begins, out of fear of yet another financial hurdle; however, they’re concerned that if more Oregonians avoid getting vaccinated, it could mean another disastrously slow season limited to takeout and delivery.
Early into the pandemic, when restaurants and bars were relegated to takeout and delivery service as a safety precaution, many Portland restaurants and bar owners started building walk-up windows into the facade of their buildings: Cafes like Either/Or and Proud Mary built pastry cases for their ordering counter, and places like Thai barbecue bar Eem and pie shop Lauretta Jean’s built in separate pickup and takeout windows, to reduce the potential for crowding.
Once Portland restaurants and bars could reopen, some Portland restaurants with walk-up windows began to transition into more outdoor dining, building patios and cabanas to allow for something closer to dine-in service. Many of those businesses saw the outdoor model as a stepping stone back to a larger reopening: Eem co-owner Earl Ninsom planned to reopen the interior of the restaurant this summer, but is holding off because of the rise of the delta variant.
