The Irish foodservice profit sector registered a sizable contraction in CAGR of 3.4% from 2015-2020 on account of shutdown and closure of economic activities. The country implemented a national lockdown in March 2020 to reduce virus spread which adversely impacted the nation’s economy. The COVID-19 related safety measures forced the shutdown of foodservice outlets such as restaurants, cafes which negatively impacted the sector sales revenue during the review period, especially in 2020. However, with relaxation on restrictions in May along with the re-opening of tourism activities during the second half of 2020 led to a spike in new cases across the nation which triggered the second wave in 2020. This adversely affected the transactions from dine-in restaurants. However, take-away and drive-thru helped in mitigating the losses incurred during the review period.
