That's about to completely crater. My city issued guidance just yesterday (3/16) that all dining room service is to stop. Drive through, delivery, and curbside only.

New York, New Jersey and Connecticut shutdown all Restaurants, Bars and Movie Theaters yesterday afternoon. Only takeout is allowed.

Same in Michigan.

What city?

Not sure what city OP is in, but every Bay Area county did that today.

All of Oregon just started today as well

Illinois and Ohio, I know at least

Louisiana closed all bars and limited restaurants to takeout, delivery, or drive-thru service only.

And Colorado as well.

Even Bozeman, MT has closed its restaurants, cafes, and bars.

This is happening across all of North Carolina tonight.

The jurisdictions I'm aware of that have banned dining room service include:

Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, several places in the Bay Area, New York, New Jersey, Washington, Illinois, Ohio.

Basically, at this point, whenever a few large jurisdictions announce their intentions to take some coronavirus measures (such as closing schools or closing restaurants), everyone else follows through within 48 hours.

And Minnesota as of 5pm today (2020-03-17).

Minnesota too

Not sure about above poster, but I can confirm Dallas did this yesterday.

Ft. Worth cut capacity in half. No ones coming in anyway. The city is probably just trying to buy a couple weeks before going all in.
