Strategies for Food Service Companies to Navigate the Covid-19 Crisis

Prioritize employee health and wellness

With the coronavirus outbreak, food service companies are facing a shortage of employees to run operations smoothly. To tackle this challenge, some restaurants have adopted measures such as emphasizing workplace hygiene and installing hand sanitizing stations. However, other than these measures, food service companies will need to implement an employee assistance program and offer paid sick leaves to build the trust of employees and ensure their safety.

Reassure customers

As revenues take a huge dip during this period, customers are now looking for budget-friendly meals. As such, food service companies must analyze customers' needs and scale up their menu accordingly. Also, food service companies must efficiently communicate with their customers regarding changes they may be making, share sanitization procedures, and encourage support.

Focus on premium deliveries

As millennials and Gen Z customers are showing preferences for budget-friendly meals, but also for enhanced experiences in delivered food, the trend for chef-led delivery brands is expected to pick up over the coming weeks. As such, food services companies must keep pace with market trends and change their strategies accordingly.
