The district chairman of the hotel and restaurant association had feared: It will take time for the state subsidies to reach the restaurateurs.
In fact, many do not even have the November aid in their accounts.
But for most of them, giving up is out of the question.
Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen -
Daniele Sangermano is someone who does not want to be brought to his knees by the pandemic - not even by the second lockdown that forced the restaurateurs to close.
“We can do it,” says the Italian who runs the “Da Daniele” cafe bar in Geretsried with his wife.
He won't let himself be dragged down, just pay lease, electricity and personnel costs out of his own pocket.
“It wasn't for nothing that I built something up here over the years.
The bar is my life. ”The 42-year-old is a little disappointed with the sluggish state aid.
He admits he has received down payments for November and December, “but unfortunately not the short-time allowance for two months.
We have to advance that - and hope that we will get it back at some point. "
“The Greek” in Farchet is so popular in good times that guests should reserve if they want to be sure of their table.
When asked how he is feeling, boss and thoroughbred landlord Iraklis Sakellariou can only think of one word: "bad".
He has sent six people on short-time work and has already received the money.
“But I've been waiting for help from the state since November.” What astonishes the Greeks: “In the first lockdown, the money came very quickly.” Sakellariou and his family cannot live on the 20 to 30 pick-up orders on the day.
"At the moment we have to go to our reserves - and persevere."

Monika Poschenrieder questions whether all companies can really do this.
"For some it gets really tight," says the district chairwoman of the hotel and restaurant association.
She estimates that so far only about 25 percent of the November aid has been paid out.
The remaining funds should flow from next week.
The landlady of the Forellenhof "Walgerfranz" in Bad Tölz has only received an advance payment and is waiting for the rest. For a few days now, restaurateurs have been able to apply for December aid through their tax advisor.
The situation is not funny for any of the estimated 600 restaurants in the district, says Poschenrieder.
"If we continue to get support, most of them will get through."
The mills may grind more slowly because during the first lockdown some of the people cheated.
Gabi Gerer from the inn of the same name in Ammerland
Gabi Gerer from the Münsinger Gasthaus of the same name confirmed when our newspaper called our newspaper that the government aid for November had just been received.
“I still have to apply for the one for December.” She can only speculate about why the support is delayed by some colleagues: “The mills may grind more slowly, because some of the people were cheated during the first lockdown.” The state will now surely stricter to ensure that everything is legal.
She herself is "in the fortunate position" of running a smaller business that "stands on several legs".
Gerer rents rooms permanently to students and offers a to-go shop after individual consultation with customers.
“And my husband goes to work on the side.
It all saves us. ”She remains confident:“ Somehow we'll get through all this junk.
But I am sure that it will be different for all of us afterwards.
The before will no longer exist. "
