Food & Beverage Business Review - August - September 2020

In this issue

The six month of pandemic outbreak has affected hospitality industry in an unprecedented manner. It has brought the industry to its knees, which now needs a serious support from all possible stake holders involved in the business. Many properties have been permanently shut down and thousands of jobs are lost. The industry was desperately waiting for government to announce re-opening of the hospitality and foodservice segment, which suffered the most. The restaurant industry is seeing some movement now with customers coming back, offering some ray of hope to those struggling to hold on. But its impact is far from over, and it is pivotal that the industry addresses key pain points and builds a system that ensure better future for the industry. Thus it was important for us than ever before to restart our magazine to provide a platform where the industry can come together to network. The current issue is available not only in print form but on multimedia platforms like social media etc. including e-edition on our website www.fbrmag.com. Do send us your feedback on the industry issues for us to incorporate in future editions ands on e-platforms at info@hammer.co.in. We wish speedy recovery of the industry and better days for everyone in the industry.
