Jakob Angele, foodpanda’s CEO for Asia Pacific, urges F&B operators to focus on optimising revenues in times like these. “The single most important thing for restaurants during lockdowns is that they get to keep their business open. And foodpanda is able to provide them a strong stream of revenue to allow them to keep their kitchens open and pay their staff and so on,” says Angele in an interview with The Edge Singapore.
With tightened measures in place yet again, F&B operators have put away their tables and chairs as dining out is banned for the third time since the pandemic began.
Luckily for many, the “circuit breaker” last year had already prepared them for what is to come. Business, no doubt, will be impacted. However, thanks to food delivery platforms such as foodpanda, the decline will be somewhat mitigated.
