Restaurant industry: new concepts related to dining


As advanced in a previous article, the restaurant industry is one of the sectors that will be impacted the most by this pandemic. The economic recession implies that people will care more about prices when they eat out. Thus, firms will have to decrease their menu prices and work on a low profit margin. However, that is not all.

A lot of restaurants are under considerable strain. They are worried about whether, and when, they will be able to reopen. There are also concerns related to how they are going to operate if social distancing rules remain in place. Things will be pretty complex if everyone has to be at least one metre apart. For instance, crowded food halls were extremely trendy and popular before this pandemic, but this might change.

The cofounder of the Restaurant Investment Group Daniel Dain advanced, “All the hallmarks of our present urbanism are highly interactive and close together”. However, people will be less motivated to dine out after the pandemic. This will give rise to new models. While many outlets might close, their chefs will still work, which will result in more systems such as CloudKitchens. Cooks will be operating restaurants out of their home or professional kitchens and meals will be available for pickup and delivery.
