With orders drying up, they find it hard to sustain their business
It s not just restaurants that have seen a decline in business during the ongoing pandemic, even home chefs are finding it tough to stay afloat.
Take the example of Supriya Phulwani, a 35-year-old home chef based in Mumbai, who has seen a sharp decline in party orders and orders from regular corporate clients. “Last year when the lockdown eased up I was getting several local orders that compensated for the lack of big corporate orders. Now my revenues have declined by at least 30 per cent,” Phulwani said adding that she had to let go of at least five of her staff members.
