Riverdale Park eateries desperately need our help.

The amount of financial loss that the Riverdale Park restaurants are suffering right now really cannot be understated.

Maryland ordered all restaurants to close to dine-in business back on March 16th.

It's been two weeks now and the damage to their businesses has been enormous.

Restaurants are low margin businesses, I know as I owned one myself almost a lifetime ago.

At first all of the restaurants here said they would continue to provide pick up and delivery service.

-  On March 19th (3 days into the shutdown) Denizens gave up and closed up shop completely for food and only offers a beer delivery service now.  The owners have publicly been stating this is ruining them financially.

-  On March 23rd (7 days into the shutdown) Burton's gave up and closed completely.

These are our remaining restaurants in the immediate area that are still offering pickup and delivery service, along with links to all of their delivery services:

District Taco        -     DoorDash
Habit Burger        -    DoorDash
Jersey Mikes        -   GrubHub
MOD                   -    DoorDash
Banana Blossom  -    Toast
Rivieras Tapas     -    GrubHub

I've been visiting these place for pickups and talking to the owners/managers and almost all of them are considering closing their doors until this is over.  Some are much closer to closing than others but as this continues we are going to continue to lose options, and its going to be very quick.  I think we will lose at least one option from the list above PER WEEK if there is not more support.

Although it has already been crippling to their businesses the fact that this looks like it is going to stretch into months it means this could bankrupt a lot of these places so they never come back.

I realize everyone has their stockpile of food now and is bunkered up right now but a delivery order is extremely low risk and you are potentially making it so these businesses don't declare bankruptcy and still exist after this is over.
