The restaurant industry says the Brisbane lockdown is a « heartbreaking blow to the hospitality industry in southeast Queensland » shortly after JobKeeper ended.
« With school holidays and Easter only days away, the recently announced lockdown could be the final blow to many businesses that have struggled for more than 12 months, » said Wes Lambert, CEO of the Restaurant and Catering Association.
« This lock is different, however. There is no JobKeeper safety net for these companies, and little to no support will be offered until the lockdown ends.
« This means more employees have resigned, up to $ 50 million in lost sales, nearly $ 15 million in products and inventory thrown away, and more debt is building.
» R&CA warns governments across the country that business support must continue as long as the lockdown remains an active policy response. « This recent lockdown should expedite all plans for incentives and support from the Queensland and federal governments.
« With one of the busiest tourist periods, this announcement means one thing for thousands of restaurants and cafes across Queensland: chaos. »
