SINGAPORE - While Covid-19 might have dented the food and beverage business last year, eateries enjoyed a burst of activity in December, with more bookings made compared with a year ago, before the pandemic struck.
Food and beverage players said it reflects a recovery in consumer confidence and is likely a result of Covid-19 affecting year-end plans, including travel.
The actual impact on sales is still not clear as official figures for December are not available yet. But online dining booking site Chope Singapore said that reservations placed on its platform jumped 41 per cent last month from a year ago.
