Restaurants that are open for pickup and delivery in the Philadelphia area
Rather than shut down, some restaurateurs are adjusting the way they do business so they can retain employees and keep the lights on.

Empty chairs and barstools are the unimaginable side-effect of the government ban on dining rooms and bars, designed to combat the coronavirus.
Businesses that offer carry-out, delivery, and drive-through food and beverage service may continue to operate. Bars may sell beer to go, including growlers. Alcohol to go in open containers is not allowed in Pennsylvania, though the rules soon may change.
Supermarkets that sell alcohol are unaffected by the order. Philly’s craft distillers, meanwhile, are offering booze for sale.
Restaurateurs are adjusting the way they do business so they can retain employees and keep the lights on. In most cases, that means pivoting to carry-out or takeout. Even posher restaurants are offering meal deals.
Some restaurants and bars are closing temporarily. Some, however, likely will close permanently. Given the narrow profit margins, most restaurants cannot withstand long-term disruptions.
A few notes:
Customers must call ahead for carry-out or pickup, rather than by walking into the restaurant and waiting for takeout, even with a touchscreen; the less time spent in public, the better.
Many restaurants are offering curbside pickup as a potentially more sanitary alternative to a delivery service (since the customer can control the order from point of pickup). Call or text the restaurant as you arrive. Though restaurants say they’re stepping up their hygiene, the most fastidious among us will surely point out that food boxes and containers can carry the virus and need to be disinfected.
Delivery services Grubhub, DoorDash, and Caviar have instituted “no-contact” delivery, meaning that drivers will call or text when they arrive and leave the order in a safe place for the customer to take inside. Grubhub is delaying the collection of its commission from restaurants.
Amanda Kmetz, a graduate student at Temple University and part-time worker at Honey’s Sit N Eat, is building a database of Philadelphia restaurants set up as an Excel spreadsheet. Because the data is open, it cannot be easily vetted.
