Six Houston Restaurants Will Close For a Week to Give Their Employees a Break | Eater Houston

"Part of the Agricole Hospitality group run by Morgan Weber, Ryan Pera, and Vincent Huynh, this establishment will close from September 6 through September 14 so its employees can take a paid week-long respite after a brutal year of pandemic-era service. The owners framed the temporary shutdown as an opportunity for staff to decompress, spend time with family, and focus on mental health; normal business is scheduled to resume on Wednesday, September 15. The move follows a wider pattern of restaurants briefly closing to protect workers from pandemic-related stress, abuse, and harassment." - Amy McCarthy
