This Michigan Restaurant Is Using Ghosts to Enforce Social Distancing

In order to help scare up some business during a challenging time, one Michigan restaurant embraced Halloween-style flair. Specifically, Trattoria Pizzeria da Luigi in Royal Oak has divided its space into" guest seating" and "ghost seating". Michigan's current regulations limit restaurants to 50 percent of their usual capacity. Owner Luigi Cutraro felt that simply removing half of the tables would make his restaurant look lonely and deserted. So that's where a bunch of "ghosts" (aka anthropomorphized tablecloths draped over chairs) come in. Cutraro felt the ghosting of his dining room was a fun way to welcome back guests at a weird time.
