Both. The people who work there are probably less income secure but have access to things like unemployment that can help. That only lasts so long and if we are to help these people, those jobs need to come back.
the owners of most restaurants I know of are individuals who stand to lose their life savings if their restaurant fails.
I care about both, and want to see them survive for the sake of both groups. but the long term ramifications of a small business closing are usually harder felt by the owners than the employees. But the short term can definitely hit workers harder
