Restaurants have been closed for months owing to lockdown restrictions.

Up to 3,000 jobs are on the line as the owner of Frankie and Benny’s announced it was going to close 125 of its sites across the country.

Frankie and Benny 's的老板宣布将关闭全国125家商店，这将导致3000人失业。

The Restaurant Group said it was seeking approval from its landlords for a deal that would let it reduce the number of restaurants it runs, and negotiate lower rents for many of those left over.

该餐饮集团表示，正在寻求房东批准一项协议，以减少其经营的餐厅数量，并为许多剩余餐厅协商降低租金。

Bosses said the hospitality industry was facing “well documented” problems, after the coronavirus pandemic forced many in the sector to close their doors.

老板们表示，在冠状病毒大流行迫使许多服务业关门后，服务业正面临“有充分证据证明”的问题。

The Restaurant Group also owns pan-Asian chain Wagamama, and runs several pubs and concessions in airports. These will not be affected by the news, it said.

这家餐饮集团还拥有泛亚连锁店Wagamama，并在机场经营多家酒吧和特许经营店。报道称，这些不会受到新闻的影响。

The stores that will close are “principally” Frankie and Benny’s restaurants, it added.

该公司补充说，将关闭的门店“主要是”Frankie and Benny’s的餐厅。

“The issues facing our sector are well documented and we have already taken decisive action to improve our liquidity, reduce our cost base and downsize our operations,” said chief executive Andy Hornby.

公司首席执行官安迪·霍恩比表示：“我们的部门面临的问题有据可查，我们已经采取果断行动，改善流动性，降低成本基础，并缩减业务规模。”

“The proposed CVA will deliver an appropriately-sized estate for our Leisure business to ensure we are well positioned despite the very challenging market conditions facing the casual dining sector.

他说:“拟议的综合增值计划将为我们的休闲餐饮业务提供一个适当规模的场所，以确保我们在休闲餐饮市场面临严峻挑战的情况下仍能处于有利地位。”

The British Property Federation said it had been talking to The Restaurant Group before it proposed the CVA, but it would be up to individual landlords to decide how to vote on the deal.

英国地产联合会表示，在该餐饮集团提出CVA方案之前，它一直在与该集团进行谈判，但如何对该交易进行投票，将取决于个别业主。

The federation’s chief executive Melanie Leech said: “These situations are never easy, particularly now for the retail and hospitality businesses on our high streets at the sharp end of the Covid-19 pandemic.

联合会的首席执行官梅兰妮·利奇说：“这些情况从来都不容易，特别是现在，对于我们在Covid-19流行病快结束时的商业街上的零售和服务业来说。

“Property owners, however, need to take into consideration the impact on their investors, including the millions of people whose savings and pensions are invested in commercial property, as they vote on any CVA proposal.”

“然而，业主在投票表决CVA的任何提案时，都需要考虑对他们的投资者的影响，包括数以百万计的储蓄和养老金投资于商业地产的人。”

The news comes as fashion chain Quiz has revealed it is placing the division that runs its 82 standalone stores into administration as part of a restructure to offload loss-making outlets and slash its rent bill.

这一消息发布之际，时尚连锁公司Quiz透露，该公司正将经营82家独立门店的部门纳入管理层，以减轻门店亏损的负担，并大幅削减租金支出。

The group said 822 of the 915 staff affected by the decision will remain with the group but that 93 jobs are at risk.

该集团表示，受这一决定影响的915名员工中，有822人将留在集团，但有93个职位将面临风险。
