According to foreign media reports, the catering industry in the United States has been destroyed to a great extent under the influence of the new coronavirus epidemic. According to relevant data, 17% restaurants in the catering industry in the United States have entered a closed state.

It's not only the catering industry in the United States that has been affected. At the beginning of this year, when the China epidemic broke out, the epidemic caught up with the Spring Festival. In previous years, the Spring Festival was a day of national celebration, and it was also the golden period of consumption in China. According to data monitoring, this year, due to the epidemic situation, during the golden consumption period of the Spring Festival, China's catering industry suffered serious trauma. The state and the government implemented the policy of closing cities and villages to encourage residents to stay indoors. At one time, the situation in front of the catering industry was also scarce, including five listed catering enterprises in China, and their share prices were also affected to a certain extent. Many small or individual restaurants have closed down.

This incident has made many netizens more worried. Now there are more and more physical stores facing closure, so can physical stores still have their own place in the future? Now, not only the catering industry is facing a crisis, but also many supermarkets, fruit and vegetable shops are facing the situation of being replaced by online shopping. The online group buying and various online shopping modes in our country have seriously affected our traditional distribution, and a certain number of self-employed households in China will face the situation of closing down.

Everything has its two sides, although this kind of online shopping will have a certain effect on physical stores such as supermarkets. Influence but also can increase the popularity of the head store and bring passenger flow to the head, which requires us to make rational use of it ourselves. For the catering industry, food is the most important thing for people. Although many restaurants have closed down now, physical stores have a long history, which will not be banned overnight for hundreds of years. When the epidemic is over and people's lives are in a stable state, I believe that everything will still be revived, a hundred schools of thought will flourish.
