From what I understand, you are not in food industry. Although, your noc is listed in esdc website, you belong to different stream which is hospitality stream. Below is the link for your reference. This topic is discussed towards the end of the 15th page in the below link.

If the Hotel owners are the same owners of the food service provider you are working,,you are not affected with the moratorium. but if its ANOTHER party owns the business..like some hotels are allowing other company lease thier kitchen to do restaurant or food servicing in their hotels then you are affected.

You are not.

occupations such as food counter attendants, kitchen helpers, restaurant and food service managers, food service supervisors, food and beverage servers, cashiers, chefs, cooks, bakers, sales, marketing and advertising managers, executive housekeepers, cleaning supervisors, butchers, meat cutters and fishmongers, sales representatives, retail salespersons and sales clerks, hosts/hostesses, bartenders, janitors, and caretakers, among others, in establishments primarily engaged in preparing meals, snacks and beverages, to customer orders for immediate consumption on and off the premises, were covered by the moratorium. [The suspension does not include food service activities that occur within establishments such as hotels, civic and social associations, amusement and recreation parks, and theatres, but leased food-service locations in facilities such as hotels, shopping malls, airports and department stores are included
