The lower catering sales than last year is due to many factors.

there are many reasons why the catering sales are lower than last year. First of all, the COVID-19 epidemic worldwide has had a huge impact on the catering industry, causing consumers to reduce the frequency and amount of eating out. Secondly, economic instability and declining employment rate have also affected people's spending power and willingness. In addition, the competition in the catering industry is fierce, and the emergence of new catering brands and concepts has dispersed the market share. Finally, consumers pay more attention to health and nutrition, which leads to a decline in the demand for some traditional catering formats. The combined effect of the above factors led to the decline of catering sales.
