He can't order customers into the front door, though. What is he going to do -- make the U.S. Department of Defense contract with every restaurant in America to buy meals from them?

That sword does cut both ways, as businesses have to have the funds to re-open. In other words, the federal (or state) government cannot compel people to work a job.
