Re-Opening Florida
We wanted to bring the latest updates, with no clear date of re-opening here in Florida, the last Executive Order 20-71 of a declared "State of Emergency" in Florida expires on May 8th or 60 days from signature on March 9th unless extended. As of right now there have been no new extensions.
The last two Executive orders in Florida are still in place Executive Order 20-52 closure of Bars and Restaurants and 20-71 declaring Florida a State of Emergency. Hopefully over the next week there will be a plan to open and people can set a plan of re-opening. The orders state as follows below;

What kind of plan do you have in place post Covid-19? The dining landscape has changed and the way we do business has changed. You need to think of your cash position how you are going to navigate the new Norm. Is your business set up to take on-line orders and delivery? With businesses taking back their own delivery and not using the big Delivery Service Providers, are you ready to compete in the realm? Because if your business is not online you will flat-line.
