I'm in the business (commercial food equipment repair), and the vast majority are hurting BAD! If this goes on longer than another month, some of them aren't going to make it!
My neighbor is in a panic...he expects to lose his restaurant, his life savings, and probably his house.
Those Mom & Pop type places are the ones getting hit the hardest-no drive thru, very little carryout business, no online ordering options, and many of them mortgaged to the hilt (like your neighbor). I've heard of some SBA disaster hardship loans that may be made available, but it may not be enough.
