Montgomeryville, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/21/2020 -- EventQuip will be installing a 6400 square foot Tent at Tucker's Tavern on Long Beach Island this Friday, May 22, 2020. This is one of 8 restaurants owned by Fearless Restaurant Group .

The New Jersey Restaurant and Hospitality Association [NJRA], a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for restaurants and those in the industry, has a plan to reopen restaurants as soon as later this month at 50 percent capacity — a percentage many restaurant owners say is the threshold for profitability. They are also negotiating specific guidelines including:

- Restaurant capacity reduced to 50 percent, with diner and bar seating at least six feet apart.

- Seating limited to no more than eight guests per table.

- Tables, chairs, and bars cleaned and sanitized after every use.

- No customers with a fever or cough permitted in the restaurant.

- All guest-facing staff to wear face masks, and customers would be welcome to wear them but not required to.

Increasing dining capacity will be a priority and EventQuip has developed a variety of solutions for expanding restaurant footprints while maintaining required social distancing- tents and temporary structures can be scaled to fit businesses, guidelines, and codes. Customizations include:

- Size & Style
- Open-Air
- HVAC and Air Scrubbers
- Flooring options
- Lighting, sound, and A/V
- Custom graphics and branding

"We want to help restaurants safely re-open as quickly as allowed, as well as provide a much-needed experience for patrons who are experiencing quarantine fatigue," says Ed Knight, founder and owner of EventQuip. "If we are able to create safe & enjoyable spaces, I believe it will encourage people to follow the guidelines."
