In his Facebook post, Ee Chien stresses the importance of music being allowed in restaurants as well as a relaxation of the time limit for alcohol consumption (which is now set at 10.30pm), especially for dual concepts like Jekyll & Hyde. “Music creates an ambience. Music isn’t meant to be the main focus, but it creates a vibe and atmosphere that people come to restaurants for,” he explains. “While there is concern that loud music might lead to people speaking louder [resulting in a greater risk of saliva distribution and virus transmission], restaurants are more than happy to comply with a decibel limit.”


As for allowing alcohol consumption past 10.30pm, he shares that “15 to 20 percent of the evening’s food and drinks come from sales during the time period of 10.30pm to midnight alone.” It also allows for “less restrictive table turns [that last longer than two hours, rather than a hour and a half] and a more pleasant dining experience all around”.


Currently, his restaurant’s takings are down by about 75 percent on average compared to before the pandemic. “We employ 13 Singaporeans, with a total salary and CPF contribution of close to $40,000 a month, which is $1538 per working day. Today, we made $77. Note that we haven’t taken rent, utilities, goods and other costs into consideration,” he adds in his Facebook post.

You want restaurant to be open, then throw out the PAP. PAP are the ones who set up all these useless rules and if you follow it, you are giving the PAP the power.

During a pandemic, the Landlord should reduce 90% rental for the Tenant.
The Bank should further support the good cause, freeze payment from Landlord
The Shareholder should also freeze their dividend payout during pandemic.
Govt step in to freeze their corporate taxes, if everyone just help out a bit
The pandemic will be more easy on everybody, it is not that painful as now.
But seems like someone along the chain refuse to accept anything lesser

The $77 was from someone who accidently ordered from the restaurant.

On one hand you see seasoned hotel chefs putting aside their pride and opening stalls at hawker centres and coffee shop. On the other hand, you see inexperienced young punks trying to run restaurants. A case of running without learning how to walk.
