A week after full liberalization, Beijing's restaurant industry is seeing new challenges.
As one of the first cities to be fully liberalized, Beijing has seen a doubling of positive cases in recent days.
People around the city have even begun to flirt with the idea that "if you don't have a single positive friend in your circle of friends, you need to review your social skills."......
How has the liberalization gone? What are the specific effects on the restaurant industry? Let's take a look!
"Liberalized but no one dares to come out."
Beijing ushered in the first wave of outbreaks after the full liberalization of
December 7, "the new ten" landed, in the Omicron onslaught, the country continued to appear infected cases, especially in Beijing, stockpiling drugs, stockpiling antigens has become a necessity.
Meanwhile, as the number of positive cases continues to grow, the streets and shopping malls of Beijing are seeing less foot traffic.

This morning, the Beijing subway released data showing that yesterday (Monday) the daily passenger flow of the Beijing subway is only 1.71 million.
And September Monday basically in more than 7 million, October Monday is in more than 6 million, November Monday began to decline to three or four million, today's 1.71 million is a new low.
Many travelers reflected, "should be crowded in the morning rush hour, the subway station is very cold inside, the carriage is also empty."
This also means that after the full liberalization, people are afraid to go out.

Traveling less, shopping malls traffic is also "miserable".
Just yesterday, just resumed business in Beijing Xidan Pearl shopping mall, issued a notice and closed part of the floor.

The catering industry is facing new challenges
Over the past few days, Beijing's catering stores have resumed their dine-in operations one after another, and it is reasonable to say that the fireworks that have been missing from the streets for a long time should be be back soon. But from the current situation, after the full liberalization of the Beijing restaurant rebound may not come as quickly as we think, Beijing restaurant people are still facing new difficulties.
1, "takeaway riders yang a big half, stores burst single also no one to send!"
Before the full liberalization, although the dine-in is affected, but the restaurant at least can do takeaway, but now "hit" more and more riders, catering takeaway delivery has been seriously affected.
Currently, the status quo of many restaurants in Beijing is: the counter is full of packaged meals, waiting for half an hour or even an hour, there is no rider to pick up.
