Miami Restaurants With Paycheck Protection Loans Face a New Set of Challenges | Eater Miami

"A popular Wynwood bar and eatery, Gramps received a PPP loan and its owner Adam Gersten has pivoted his recently re‑hired workforce of about 30 employees to focus on projects at the space while also reopening its grab‑and‑go pizza offshoot, Pizza Tropical, for takeout and contactless delivery. I note that even with these new projects some staffers are choosing to stay home—helping with social media or caring for elderly family members—while remaining on the payroll, and Gersten says they are using the program “100 percent of the spirit of the program — which is to keep people paid,” criticizing state and federal responses." - Olee Fowler
