but also don't need wait staff.
My wife was told she is not working for the foreseeable future.
Do you interpret that as she should begin looking for another job? In a way those words could/can mean termination.
I hope things get better.

Rachel, that some of you met at Spiceworld last year, is sitting on the tarmac about to fly from Chicago to Brussels. She's making it over just hours before the border closes.
Belgium is closing their borders? I kow much of the EU was, but still on a country by country basis last time I saw news.
The Schengen closes. Originally it was going to close today at noon (proposed, never official); but thankfully it got delayed and they are closing tomorrow at noon now, instead. So she made it by a few hours.
Belgium is keeping their internal borders open (France has closed theirs, though), so you can move to Germany and The Netherlands from Belgium, but that's it. Basically German and the Low Lands have become an isolated island. But overall, the Schengen border is closed, so no getting in from anywhere else.

Inside Sales, Calling existing customers, offering the service to enhance customer care and comfort by Online Order for free for 3 months. Cause a lot of these places dont have that, and that's why they're getting beat out by people who do.
Eveyrone in the industry is doing it sadly. Door Dash, grub Hub? doing it., -

That's not how that works.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus_disease_2019#Terminology
The World Health Organization announced on 11 February 2020 that "COVID-19" would be the official name of the disease. World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said "co" stands for "corona", "vi" for "virus" and "d" for "disease", while "19" was for the year, as the outbreak was first identified on 31 December 2019. Tedros said the name had been chosen to avoid references to a specific geographical location (i.e. China), animal species, or group of people in line with international recommendations for naming aimed at preventing stigmatisation.
