Covid-19 & Its Impact on Restaurant Industry:

The customer base of the Restaurant industry at large can be divided into two sections – local eat-outs and tourism sectors.  The tourism industry where the food and restaurant industry plays a distinct role had been completely shut. The lockdown imposed steered away eateries and restaurants – the conventional food & restaurant industry was left shattered.

The rapid adoption of online food delivery led to change in business models, KPIs, costs associated with payroll and accounting overnight. Amendments w.r.t occupancy/leases, other economic provisions of CARES Act like PPP and SBA loans did their part in helping business keep afloat.

Resurgence in vaccination rates and lowered cases meant restaurant businesses had to make tough choices to make a quick adjustment for quick business recovery in the post-pandemic period. Reducing the overhead and furloughing the employees are common practices that restaurants have adopted and they do work, but only in the short term.
