The business of restaurants and cafes are facing immense impacts over the last few years. First, the Covid-19 pandemic struck the world and everything came to a halt for an unknown amount of time. All the strict rules and guidelines affected the food industry very badly. Though things started getting back to normal afterward and restaurants and cafes started getting crowded slowly, the industry is once facing problems and this time it is not about fewer customers and visitors. The inflation in the market; the rising food prices and the fuel cost are leading to massive problems for the food industry.
Rising Food Prices And Fuel Costs Is The Biggest Concern

The price of commercial LPG cylinders multiplied during the pandemic and now it is yet again increasing probably every other week.

As a result, the price of the dishes on the menu is also increasing and they are also seeing a decrease in the profit margin.
