He further said that the government had closed the restaurants for weekends while on weekdays there is a time restriction of 10 pm that is a killing element for the restaurants.

Dining out is a major recreational activity in Pakistan and the majority of the people take their time out for gathering on weekends, he said adding that unplanned restrictions not only cause business losses but also pose serious threats of Covid-19 spread.

He further said that “at restaurants, it is ensured that everybody is vaccinated and we make sure that guests are sitting at a distance.”

He appealed to the government to allow the restaurants to remain open on weekends and let them serve the people till 1 am on weekdays.

He also told the government, “Keep a check on us and punish us if we are not complying with the Covid-19 SOPs but please let us live.”

Every time when a restaurant is closed, it is not about one restaurant rather about all those families who are associated with that restaurant somehow, he said while representing all the restaurant associations in Pakistan and added that “give us a chance and we shall not disappoint you as we love our country from the core of our heart.”
