Regarding restaurants and such: Wouldn't you think food trucks would be more popular now? Maybe there are restrictive laws here in West St. Tammany, but I would think food trucks would be able to flourish in this gradual re-opening.

This story from Ohio makes sense to me--

Some cities, like Oakland, aren't allowing them at all for the time being. But as the country gradually re-opens, food trucks seem a good investment.

Your market may vary: Food trucks usually rely on office buildings and attractions for customers. Both are empty. Short term, most will see reduced sales. Those with social media followings who park along walking trails and outdoor amenities that are not closed, may do well. Those with the smarts to contact condo buildings for lunch events, will do well. Some restaurants are going to downsize. Trucks could see a jump in food quality as more restaurants move from brick and mortar to trucks. Some markets were already saturated with trucks. The restaurant industry is going to push for expanded seating. Industry will ask about closing streets in food corridors to allow tables to take the entire sidewalk for more distancing with more guests. That may be a solution for the "we can't make money at 25% capacity" complaints.

I am not a fan of eating off of food trucks. I've closed too many.
