According to the industry organization Visita, due to increased prices for food and electricity as well as continued staff shortages, there is great concern in the restaurant industry ahead of the autumn.
After years of corona adaptations and restrictions, Paula Engström, who ran a lunch restaurant in Landeryd in Hylte municipality, is tired and says that she no longer has any joy for work.
When the purchase costs for raw materials have also increased significantly, she now chooses to close the lunch restaurant.
She has instead found a job within a larger company and is trying to focus on other things in life than work.
