It may be a long time before many of us congregate in restaurants. And going out to eat is quickly becoming a far-off luxury for many hardworking Americans.

What's next: The dining trade is starting to think about how the industry will need to evolve, and Bloomberg's Leslie Patton and Edward Ludlow have a look ahead as "buffet services may disappear" and "workers may need to wear gloves and masks."

• '"[U]tensils may be individually wrapped."
• "Appetizers off of shared plates may be discontinued."

• Taking customer temperatures at the door.
• Reducing the number of tables by half.
• Disposable menus.
