Before & during the pandemic I’ve gone through massive growth & changes, so it’s hard to pin anything I’ve done specifically on that part of the situation.
What’s most interesting for me is moving forwards now, after so many have pivoted their businesses & adapted to restrictions.
With many companies encouraging folks back to the office & sometimes demanding they do will this force a change back to the old normal in peoples habits & routines?
Many of those in hospitality who were furloughed went out & set up street food businesses as that was an area that was still trading. With this being the business I’m in it’ll be interesting to see if those new set ups make it passed Christmas or will end up just being something people did to pass the time. It’s hard work, so only those who have the drive (& skill to make good stuff!) can survive - this has meant that all the ‘regular’ traders I know have welcomed the new ones as if they’re good then that’s a good addition to the circuit & if they’re bad they’ll soon disappear.
Coming into autumn & winter will folks still be happy eating outside or grabbing a takeaway form a local independent or will some be tempted back to the chains & eat out?
