Restaurants need to brace for 18 more months of extreme challenges — and the election is about to make things worse
Nearly 100,000 restaurants have closed across the US since the pandemic began,to the National Restaurant Association. That's roughly one in six of all restaurants across the country.
"It's very clear now that it's not a 2020 problem," Oliver Wright, the global head of Accenture's consumer goods and services practice, told Business Insider. "The next 15 months, at a minimum, and probably next 18 months are going to be extremely challenging," for restaurants, especially smaller independents, Wright said. Fall is bringing with it more bad news for restaurants, especially sit-down and full-service options.
