Summary
There will be a restaurant recovery from COVID-19, but how long will it take and how complete will the recovery be? Factors that will help the restaurant recovery include the reopening of the US economy, the reentry of employees to previous or new jobs, the possibility of a vaccine, and the spending of recently disbursed economic impact payments. Factors that will slow the recovery include a reduction in restaurants and restaurant seating capacity, restaurant workers not returning to their jobs, a slow tourism recovery, and a long-term reduction in consumer restaurant spending due to the general economic shocks caused by the COVID-19 recession.
