A new website launched by Nick Britsky of
NickDrinks.com
is aiming to help bartenders and servers across the country affected by their restaurants and bars being closed.
The website, GoTipem.com , allows bartenders and servers to enter their own digital money transaction names and people can send them a "tip" of $1, $2 or $5, as you would if you were in a restaurant.

Bars and restaurants in Michigan are closed to dine-in customers and are only allowed to stay open for carry-out or delivery, but many have opted to close as it may cost more to stay open for carry out and delivery service.
WXYZ is also gathering a list of GoFundMe pages for restaurants across metro Detroit. You can view those here.
