Seven things that changed the war in the restaurant business

Olga Pasonova Expert in Restaurant Business, Sale Psychology Expert Restaurant Business during the War: What is he? My observations. 1. The closure of part of the business is significantly reduced. The remaining institutions quickly picked up the audience of competitors. Therefore, some restaurants and cafes are not at all losses, but on the contrary, receive income higher than the pre -war. Video day 2. People get less money, spend less food out of home.

But there is money for lunch or dinner, or just for coffee. And those people who want to support themselves morally and gastronomically, do it. More smaller snacks, orders with themselves. 3. In some cities, such as in Kiev, the audit restaurant has been reduced. The premium segment restaurants are significantly 2-3 times. Someone has not returned home, many women with children are still sitting abroad. In cities in the west of Ukraine, on the contrary, there were more solvent guests.

In Lviv, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk restaurant business is developing actively, and many more space for development. Therefore, some restaurateurs from Kiev and Kharkiv are already opening there. 4. Constant changes in prices, fluctuations in the hryvnia exchange rate are not good for business. Import products are becoming more expensive, and Ukrainian production is more expensive. At this time, only marginal positions remain on the menu, the menu is reduced and frequently changed.

This is now a time of change. 5. The leader of sale in Kiev, and in other cities is shawarma. Many men are left alone with their lives and stomach, and shawarma is both lunch and inexpensive. That is why sales in cooking grows, and the sale of various semi -finished products there - dumplings, pizzas, dumplings, pancakes. Single men make sales of delivery services, but there is no place for vegan and gluten -free dishes. Meat, and again meat. And more. 6. The curfew kills dinners and bars.

The establishments are closed on time so that staff can get home. There are no nights no longer. But the sale of alcohol in retail has grown. They drink at home. 7. Most restaurants and cafes have become survival. Everyone understands what will be better, but not now. In the near future, anyone who could not get out will close. And their competitors, who will survive, will remove the cream. Subsequently, only flexible as snakes, restaurateurs and projects will remain on the market.
