Clique Hospitality’s Andy Masi tackles the monumental task of reopening his restaurant empire in Las Vegas | Eater Vegas

"Closed along with other casino restaurants during the pandemic shutdown, this venue has been undergoing planning for a safe, phased reopening that stresses employee retention and customer safety. A PPP loan allowed management to reinstate roughly 100 full-time staff on April 27 to begin implementing changes such as streamlined menus, enhanced sanitation protocols, reconfigured seating for distancing, and stricter serviceware procedures, with part-time staff returning when dine-in resumes. Leadership plans to favor in-house takeout and delivery to avoid high third-party fees, aims to preserve the venue’s social, experiential atmosphere, and expects a gradual Las Vegas recovery while prioritizing getting people back to work over immediate profitability." - Susan Stapleton
