Pubs, Clubs & Bars are among the worst hit food service channels amid the COVID-19 pandemic

Coffee & Tea Shops                  Widespread closures of Coffee and Tea shops will negatively impact revenues, the recovery will be slow and drawn out,
                                    while smaller and independent shops will be hit harder than large chains.

Cost Sector                        Companies in the cost sector are planning for significant revenue losses as a result of Covid-19, with releases from
                                   leading players such as Aramark indicating a 15-20% drop in revenues this year.

▪ The Hotel & Motel foodservice
  segment is one of the biggest
  casualties of the coronavirus
  outbreak in 2020. The channel will
  continue to record low revenues in
  the current year, forcing
  consolidation and closure of small
  and medium scale establishments.

                                                                                                                                                                     3. Channel Outlook
▪ The accommodation segment is
  backed by the travel and tourism
  sector. Therefore it is one of the
  hardest hit with long lasting effects.
  People are less likely to travel amid
  safety concerns, while all major
  airlines are barred from international
  and domestic operations amid
  tightening restrictions.

▪ As travel restrictions look to be lifted
  in many countries only for business
  travels, a ray of hope emerges for the
  accommodation sector that is
  currently incurring heavy losses.

▪ Also few European countries such
  Italy , Greece, Portugal and Iceland
  are welcoming European travels will
