Due to the pandemic,
many workers have lost their jobs. Daily wage earners were the first ones who
lost their positions. People even took the streets to protest in the beginning
as they have families to look after and bills to pay. Without a job, how were they
supposed to meet basic requirements?

Considering the
severity of the problem, many restaurant chains opened their doors to not just
the customers but also new employees.
