After the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic, many factories and enterprises stopped production and waited for the end of the epidemic, among which the catering industry was most affected by the epidemic. Since ancient times, China has paid attention to excitement. Most people who go to the catering industry get together with friends or even have large-scale dinners. What the epidemic is most afraid of is that many people gather together, not to mention everyone's chopsticks, and they will reach into the same meal, which will increase the possibility of epidemic spread. Therefore, during the epidemic, people are not encouraged to eat in restaurants, and even if they do, they are not encouraged to eat in the lobby. Most of them were packed and taken away.

Although I am not engaged in the catering industry, when I go out during the epidemic, I will find that many restaurants on the street are closed and many papers posted during the holiday are still there. Although time has passed, no one will open this restaurant, and even this restaurant will never open.

The worst epidemic occurred during the Spring Festival in China, which was also the golden age of catering business. Many restaurant owners hoarded a lot of food raw materials to welcome the New Year. However, due to the lack of customers and the short shelf life of food, during the epidemic, we also saw reports that many restaurant owners were forced to sell vegetables. On the one hand, they have the mentality of saving as much as possible, on the other hand, they are ready to go bankrupt.

We all know that the cost of opening a store is very high, and we need to pay the rent, water and electricity of the store. Besides, we also need to hire many employees, especially the catering industry, which needs not only chefs, but also many waiters and front desk managers. These are not small costs for the catering industry. During the epidemic, these daily maintenance money needs to be paid, but because there is no turnover and no income, many catering industries go bankrupt directly, and even many large enterprises go bankrupt.

Now the epidemic has been basically controlled and the catering industry has resumed normal business, but we can also find that many shops on the street, especially the newly opened new stores, have been closed forever, which is enough to show that the epidemic has dealt a great blow to the catering industry. If we can survive, no one wants to give up their hard-working shops. After all, it takes courage to give up.

In fact, it's not just the catering industry. Because the outbreak of the epidemic was unexpected and there was no good solution, people could not gather at home for a long time, and many related industries, such as catering industry, were hit hard. This loss is not caused by their own humanistic reasons, which is even more heartbreaking. At present, the epidemic has been well controlled, people's lives have been restored, and normal factories and enterprises have begun to operate normally. I also hope that the catering industry can regain its former prosperity.
