Governor DeSantis Restricts Restaurant Operations to Take-Out/Delivery ONLY, Statewide.

March 23, 2020

Governor DeSantis restricts restaurant operations to take-out/delivery only state-wide. The Executive Order also expands alcohol delivery options for restaurants and relaxed product return requirements for cancelled events. PLEASE CHECK LOCAL REGULATIONS – please note that the Order establishes a floor for local municipal and county government regulations. Local jurisdictions with “home-rule” authority can further restrict the Governor’s Order and add delivery restrictions as well as curfew or other limited hours of sale. Local jurisdiction websites and social media pages are becoming the fastest source of information as government offices close.
