dining-in ban extend by 1 week, F&B biz kpkb this time round is worse than last year's circuit breaker

[micromachine]

Mr Colin Chia, founder of Nutmeg and Clove at Purvis Street, said it was a double whammy for businesses located in the central business district, which have been hit by the dine-in ban and the scarcity of office workers as working from home remains a default.


“Even the number of deliveries and takeaways are not as good as the circuit breaker period last year,” he said.


The extension of the ban was also another blow to Mr Chia’s business, as he had to cancel more than 50 reservations from June 14 to Father’s Day on June 20 after the announcement. He also had to scrap plans to provide diners with a free engraving service on their liquor bottles as part of the celebration.


Mr Paul Liew, the owner of Keng Eng Kee Seafood restaurant, said he had to cancel over 20 bookings during the same period. A majority of these customers opted for delivery instead.

Expect more F&B businesses to go kaput.

Maybe Loong wants this nonsense to carry on indefinitely, so his Govtech, vaccine and food delivery cronies get rich.

Actually what difference does one day make? We still allowing high-risk Indian travellers to come to Singapore.

F&B now very tulan why cannot let them do biz on 20th Jun, Father's day.

This is why booking restaurant seats in advance is a silly thing to do in this current 'new normal'.

But that didn't stop those filial and kiasu gongkias: first Mother's Day, then Father's Day.

In hospitality, once you are down...it is extremely difficult to get back up again.

I have said many times before; affluent Singaporeans only take care of their fathers and mothers during father day and mother day. After that they don’t bother to take care of them for the remaining 364 days.

Even Khaw Boon Wan suggested sinkies to send their aged old parents to Jb for better care.

I remember back in the day (mid-late 2000s) on the Breadtalk website there was a section where they humblebragged about George Quek's rags to riches story, even after getting bankrupted.

Sadly, that has been airbrushed from the newer revisions of the Breadtalk website.

Luckily, I have saved a copy of it.
