Revamped CaféTO program sees 501 applications, down from 837 permits in 2022, but bar and restaurant owners ‘grateful’ for the program that saved many businesses during COVID.
Toronto’s popular outdoor dining program will return next month, but fewer establishments will take part this year as new city fees and regulations kick in.
“I look forward to seeing hundreds of restaurants and bars taking part in the improved CaféTO program this year. With warmer weather on the way, we are committed to being ready for patio season, including providing accessible and equitable outdoor dining spaces that continue to animate and revitalize our main streets,” said Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie in a statement.
Johnny Rafferty, owner of the Rose and Crown pub on Yonge St. north Eglinton Ave., is happy to pay up. He said his business wouldn’t have survived the early stages of COVID-19 without CaféTO. Rafferty said he hopes to recoup the fees for setting up one curbside and one sidewalk patio within a week, thanks to the extra business the additional seating will bring in. He also said he plans to apply to a federally funded program that will reimburse owners for half the costs of patio space improvements, up to $7,500.
