Taco Bell has opened a “digital only” fast-food joint and bar in Times Square that uses automated kiosks to take food orders — but it will still serve booze the old-fashioned way.

LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – Restrictions on indoor dining are nothing new to restaurant owners at this point in the pandemic, but this time things are a little different.

Governor Whitmer is asking them to take a break from indoor dining, instead of making it a requirement.

She is stressing this is a request not a new mandate and is asking everyone to do their part by avoiding indoor dining for the next two weeks.

“We are strongly urging restaurants and diners to be smart and eat outdoors or get take out,” Governor Whitmer said.
