Planned for Months, Ratu Meta Dares to Open a Restaurant Amidst the Pandemic

Kapanlagi.com - The condition of the corona pandemic that has not improved has forced many offices and businesses to close. Luckily for Ratu Meta, she can still open her planned business, Resto Share Loc Caffe and Seafood Teh Mpop, which she has been planning for months.

As is known, the government does allow culinary businesses to continue operating. However, there are still a number of regulations that must be adhered to in order to suppress the spread of the corona virus.

"Alhamdulillah, I opened on April 29, 2020, even though it was during the lockdown period, there were still many visitors, although customers could not eat at the place, they could only take away the food and drinks. As a good Indonesian citizen, I must still follow the government's rules and can only take home the food and drinks," said Meta recently.

Meta actually opened the restaurant in Pagadungan Village, Purwasari, Karawang when the regency had not implemented PSBB (Large-Scale Social Restrictions). However, she has already implemented take-away rules to protect employees and customers.

The singer of Pacar Kedua (Second Lover) has planned to open the restaurant since December last year. Her intention is not only to create new job opportunities, but also to provide food menu options for those who have to stay at home.

"At first, I was still hesitant to open the restaurant because I was afraid that there would be no visitors or buyers, but alhamdulillah, it turns out that the enthusiasm of the people in the Karawang area is very good. I am just an ordinary person who can only lighten the burden of the people in my hometown, Karawang. I feel sorry to see their current condition, they need to live, they need to eat, they need to drink," she concluded.
