Oct 1st 2020 – It’s clear that the pandemic will continue to affect lives around the world, even in regions that have regained some semblance of control over new cases. The long-term effects of the pandemic will continue to shadow areas of the economic landscape.

The restaurant industry has been particularly hard hit. CHD Expert estimates a decline in revenue across the board for American restaurants during the pandemic. In total between January and September, eating and drinking outlet places were down with 45,000+ foodservice outlets.

Chefs, general managers, owners, bartenders and diners have all attempted to raise their voices to get aid for the hard-hit sector. But those cries have been drowned out by the sound of businesses boarding up their eateries, shuttering service for good.

What do we see in September 2020? 

  • 9,607 permanent closures
  • 20% of the ones closing their doors are QSR / LSR
  • 19% of the closures happen in California
