Financial risk: the catering industry needs a lot of start-up funds, including rent, decoration, equipment, inventory, wages and so on. If the restaurant can't make a quick profit, it may face serious financial risks, including failure to pay wages and debts, and may even lead to bankruptcy. For many young people, such risks may be too great.
Competitive pressure: The catering industry is highly competitive, and operators need to have certain market competitiveness to survive and develop. If there is not enough market competitiveness, it is difficult to survive in the fierce market competition.
Trivial operation: the catering industry needs to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to operate, such as site selection, decoration, hiring employees, purchasing raw materials, processing, distribution, service and so on. These jobs may require a lot of time and energy, and may affect a person's quality of life and schedule.
Stress: The catering industry needs to bear great work pressure and mental stress, especially the waiters and chefs working in busy restaurants. This kind of high-intensity work may affect physical and mental health, which may be unbearable for young people.
Social awareness: The catering industry is generally regarded as a low-income, high-risk and high-pressure industry, and not everyone has the necessary skills such as cooking and management. This cognition may affect young people's willingness to choose this industry.
Digital Age: With the development of mobile Internet, more and more young people are engaged in digital industries, such as e-commerce, online education, online marketing and game development. These industries seem to be more in line with young people's pursuit of freedom, flexibility and creativity, and can also provide more opportunities and benefits.
To sum up, young people choose not to engage in the catering industry, which may be because they are unwilling to bear high financial risks, high competitive pressure, high operating costs, high mental stress and other issues, or they may be influenced by social awareness, and they are not very optimistic about the prospects of this industry. In addition, the digital age also provides more opportunities and choices for young people, who can realize their values and ideals through internet entrepreneurship, independent innovation and freelancing.
However, it cannot be ignored that the catering industry also has its attraction and opportunities. For example, the catering industry can meet the basic needs of consumers, especially in today's increasingly rich catering culture, providing delicious food and comfortable dining environment can attract more customers. In addition, the catering industry can also provide employment opportunities and contribute to social and economic development.
Therefore, whether young people choose to engage in the catering industry should be comprehensively considered according to their own interests, talents and market demand. Only by having sufficient advantages in business preparation, market insight, management experience and brand building can we succeed in the catering industry.
