for me it's a waste of money. The issue here is dining without alcohol. Let the business owner have that problem. Find a way to recover in other ways, if not, close down. Intercon and Hyatt are just around the corner. What do you care about these Owners, they are rich and plenty of money. Use it in promotional gimmicks that don't involve alcohol. If that does not work, close down again is the option. Or open a parallel restaurant outside The Pearl!
