Our world, the world of Italian catering still wonders and wanders without certainties. In addition to the 9-week layoff for our employees, which has not yet been monetized in many regions, and nothing has been seen from the invitation to borrow from the famous state-guaranteed loans . "
The Union of Buon Ricordo Restaurants - the first association of restaurateurs born in Italy in 1964, which includes a hundred locals - strongly highlights the absolute criticality of the sector and the lack of clear and concrete interventions and lines guide that can prevent the collapse of the entire sector. In recent days, the association has chosen convinced to team up with the ITALIAN RESTAURANT NETWORK composed of a group of 26 trade associations,
through which clear and indispensable economic requests were made to the government

At the 8 points, however, for the Good Remembrance it is essential to add - as loudly requested also by its CONFAGRICOLTURA Partners - the reintegration of the Vouchers or a replacement formula that streamlines and favors occasional work .
"We await answers in this regard - specify on behalf of all the associates the president Cesare Carbone and the Operative Secretary General Luciano Spigaroli - Meanwhile our base is crying, day after day more and more worries and nervousness emerge. Before it is too late, and perhaps unfortunately it is already too late, we need to know when and with what rules we could reopen . What should we answer to the couples who had budgeted their dreamed wedding banquets for 2020? No certainty at the moment on their feasibility or not. "
"The use of the conditional" we could reopen " is no coincidence - they continue - We who have been defending quality Italian catering for 56 years feel offended when we are described by some as possible highly contagious realities. We think we have shown a sense over the years of responsibility and professionalism that no one can challenge us. We think we can return to our jobs in full respect and protection of our health, our employees and our customers. "
Buon Ricordo asks for quick decisions and that restaurants have no limitations that would force them to give up .
"We do not want to imagine a restart of our Bell'Italia with the shutters of ours and all the Italian restaurants lowered. The risk exists and is in the air. Opening for us all must mean being able to make profits to pay our suppliers, our employees and everything else. If this were not possible, there would be only one solution: to remain closed. Once it was called lock . "
"We put our faces on it - they conclude - We are not afraid to scream what many of our colleagues in Italy are thinking about. Our history, our founders ask us. WE ARE READY TO START AGAIN BUT WE MUST BE PUT IN TO CONDITIONS TO DO IT. Italian catering is the time to be compact and not to lower your head. THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR US! "
56 years of age, a hundred signs , of which a dozen abroad: since 1964 the Union of Good Memories Union has safeguarded and enhanced the many traditions and gastronomic cultures of our country, uniting under the aegis of local cuisine (at that time scarcely considered) country and city restaurants and taverns, from North to South. URBR was the first association of restaurateurs born in Italy and is still today the most widespread and well-known. To characterize each restaurant, and to create a trait d'union between them, today is as in the past the dish-symbol hand-painted by the artisans of the Ceramica Artistica Solimene of Vietri sul Mare on which the specialty of the restaurant is portrayed, which is donated to the guests in memory of a pleasant gastronomic experience to remember. Taken together, associated restaurants and trattorias represent, with the extraordinary variety of their cuisines, the rich mosaic of Italian gastronomy.
