Auckland restauranter Mandy Lusk has penned an open letter calling on people and businesses to help the hospitality sector survive. 

It comes after Ponsonby restaurant SPQR’s closure last week, and the Vivace owner says she’s heard of three other restaurants closing in the next week. 

And her restaurant could be heading in the same direction. 

Vivace owner Mandy Lusk joined Jack Tame.
