The COVID-19 pandemic has turned everything upside down, including the 2020 election cycle. We’ll discuss the volatile political environment heading into 2020 and what operators need to prepare for. And the industry has seemingly found itself in the middle of every debate during this pandemic - essential businesses, essential employees, the food supply, blowback from the loan programs - you name it. Now restaurants are center stage for the over-politicized social distancing wars. We’ll discuss that dynamic and how operators and brands need to navigate it. And the conversation around “Hazard Pay” is front and center at the state and local level and now even in Congress and the presidential race. We’ll take a look on what impacts that could have on the industry as well. We’ll have those stories and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
