(7 August 2020) The impact of the global coronavirus pandemic has been widespread and multifaceted. For American small businesses, shutdowns and COVID-driven changes in consumer spending habits have had dramatic and lingering effects across multiple industries.
One of the first areas to be particularly hurt by the coronavirus was restaurants and bars. Chinese food restaurants showed significant downturns in revenue early on, well before other types of restaurants, and well before government-mandated shutdowns.
Other restaurants and bars nationwide have been impacted severely, as bars were among the first businesses to be shut down completely by law during the first weeks of the pandemic. Restaurants in most areas were completely closed as well, but have gradually been adapting to a lessening in restrictions, allowing takeout/delivery/curbside service, limited dine-in service with special distancing requirements, etc.
Using data provided by Womply we will examine how bars and restaurants across the country have been impacted by the initial lockdown and social anxieties related to COVID-19, and how they have fared as the restrictions were gradually lifted. Now, as coronavirus cases have risen throughout the country, we will also look at whether restaurants and bars have suffered as many areas are tightening restrictions once more.
