Due to the epidemic situation and action control, catering orders have been numerous It has been cancelled, including banquets as far back as August and September. At present, only the orders at the end of the year remain temporarily, and customers are still observing changes in the situation.

"There are only a few customers who meet with friends for a drink, and there are very few people who come to the restaurant to eat."

  Huang Shiyuan said that at present, restaurant and restaurant business is still dominated by packaging and delivery, and delivery orders are all small order business. In the past, food orders sent to homes were calculated based on the number of people. Sometimes the number of people in an order can be as high as 100 people. However, because of the conditional control, people cannot gather together, so there are only a few members of a family to have a meal.

Industry players wait and see

  Huang Shiyuan urged restaurant and restaurant operators to abide by the standard operating procedures stipulated by the authorities, maintain a cautious attitude, maintain a high degree of hygiene, and take necessary anti-epidemic measures.

Due to concerns about the low volume of business, many seafood shops, restaurants, and coffee shop owners are watching, and have not yet started business. Businesses have to wait for a better time to resume business.

Low-risk "green zone " should be relaxed

  Huang Shiyuan pointed out that in all walks of life, the catering industry is one of the largest industries, and many people rely on this industry to survive. For areas with low risk of epidemics, the government should relax control, otherwise the catering industry will be difficult to continue. At the same time, he also hopes that the government can pay attention to the needs of the catering industry and lend a helping hand.
