4:16 pm
controversial. give me your take on this yet -- give me your take on this. >> let's be clear. the survey basically asked how many people were doing it now on their own, and only 17% were taking steps to do it, and i think you have seen those people that are brave enough and their employees wanted to do it, have decided to sort of jumped in and require it, but majority of restaurants just are not in that place staffing-wise. we asked the question if it were to be mandated at a city level or state level, a wider level, so it would be a level playing field, would you support that, and 50% were supportive. 25% were not supportive, and another 25% -- this is two weeks ago now -- were not supportive. we are moving people to maybe we should consider roosters, but it needs to be a broader mandate. >> you are saying because of the
4:17 pm
omicron surge, more and more people are thinking we have to take more precautions? >> well, yeah. you can see many of us already moved in that direction with our employees, our staff, and that 58% of the restaurants that responded -- and we had over 100 response -- were thinking up or have moved already to require staff to get proof of boosters, and we are giving them time -- most of us are looking into getting that done by early february, but there's already a big movement in that direction. larry: there's concern because more restaurants are closing and closing for good. how do you think the industry will recover from this, assuming that the omicron surge, this is the last variant we have to deal with for a while? how long could it take to get everyone back on their feet? >> again, it really depends. you
4:18 pm
push congress to fill up the restaurant revitalization fund, so we really need that because if we don't have that, we will see mass closures. out of every three restaurants, two people did not get that money and only one person did. 2/3 of the restaurants out there that were eligible did not get that last round of federal relief funding and are at risk of closing. larry: on top of that, food prices are exploding. inflation is driving costs up all the way around. >> you are going to see a lot of increases, i think. the sick pay, we are all paying it now, most of us, and it looks like california through the emergency osha stuff is requiring sick pay to continue, but there's no way to get that money back. all of those funds where you could pay it out and get refunded for in payroll taxes, those have ended. the burden is falling on the
4:19 pm
shoulders of our restaurants, owners, and staff who are stuck trying to take care of their families and themselves and be out of work up to 10 days. i would say at five days, not very many people are testing negative, so the quarantine requirement we have with california and san francisco where if you test negative at five days, is not really panning out that way. it is a 10-day quarantine that we are seeing. >> really challenging times. we appreciate more time -- we appreciate your time. thanks for joining us. a former oakland raider making a difference at his child's school in michigan. he stepped up, and when he steps up -- he is 6'9", so when he steps up, everybody notices. the school needed help last summer in the cafeteria. he decided to tackle the job himself. the former offense of tackle managing the kitchen for about 260 kids. once one of the
