Squan Tavern Tipped Staff

With the coronavirus pandemic spreading like wildfire throughout The United States, all restaurants in New Jersey have been shut down by mandatory order. The government has allowed take out & delivery service to continue but I have decided that it is not worth the risk of my staff possibly contracting the virus by exposing them to other people. It was a very hard decision to make; continue limited service and keep them somewhat working or look out for their health & welfare and stop service all together. Again, I chose the latter. 
We have been in business for decades & I know that there are very loyal, regular customers of ours that are willing to help this dedicated group that I'm glad to call my extended family. I told my staff that I would do what I could to help them with lost wages. Unfortunately, I cannot make up all of their lost wages by myself. I will certainly do what I can.  Every dollar raised here will be forwarded to my servers, bartenders and bus people that rely on tips. Believe me, every dollar will make a difference at this difficult time. The goal amount that I have projected is the summary of 25 recipients @ $300 each a week, for a couple weeks. Who knows how many weeks this will go on. Thank You So Much For Considering To Help.  

Update...I have started withdrawing and
dispersing funds to my staff. They thank you 
very much.
