COVID Bubbles Could Be The Future Of Restaurant Dining Tyler Durden Sat, 05/30/2020 - 08:45
Dining bubbles could be the savior of the collapsing restaurant industry, as nearly a quarter of American eateries will go out of business due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Restaraunt operators are desperately searching for innovative solutions to make patrons feel safe from the virus as economies in the U.S. and Europe reopen.
A French designer, who goes by the name Christophe Gernigon, invented plexiglass bubbles, called Plex'Eat, which are suspended from the ceiling and sit around a patron's head while they have dinner, ensuring social distancing and a reduction in virus transmission inside the facility.
"I wanted to make it more glamorous, more pretty," Gernigon told Reuters. He said the dinning bubbles would enter production shortly and added a lot of interest has already been seen from restaurant operators in France, Belgium, Canada, Japan, and Argentina.
On Gernigon's website, he discusses how the dinning bubble originated:
"I imagined, during the nocturnal creative wanderings of these months of confinement, a new way of welcoming customers of bars and restaurants in search of outings."
Gernigon said the H.A.N.D. restaurant in Paris is preparing to place an order.

The problem with social-distancing inside a restaurant is that patrons have to remove their masks to eat food or sip on drinks. The dining bubble could be a solution for American eateries, which would make patrons feel much safer. The restaurant industry needs to restore confidence -- this could give them the upper hand.
