He also pointed out that about 10% of customers eventually failed to meet the requirements of the vaccine pass and were unable to dine in, and were forced to switch to takeout.

Xu continued that business dropped by about 30% to 40% yesterday. In addition to the entry into force of the vaccine pass, the authorities have further tightened the dine-in limit to two people per table since yesterday, which may make it possible to remember the elderly who have morning tea with their friends after the usual morning exercise. , no longer go to restaurants to eat.

Restaurants, Chinese restaurants, tea restaurants and fast food restaurants are all affected

He believes that the first implementation of the vaccine pass will have a greater impact on business. The most affected must be restaurants, Chinese restaurants and other larger restaurants, followed by tea. Restaurants, ice rooms, fast food, "Because in the past, the dining mode was faster, but if you want to use a vaccine pass, you have to do it at the door for one or two minutes, and two or three minutes to enter first. The restaurants and fast food restaurants all get a meal, so the customers affected are very large.”

It is good news to increase the coupons

As for the restaurant's initiative to verify citizens' pin cards, Xu Wenwei said that the entire technology is also well done, and the restaurant has also trained staff on this.

However, he believes that some areas still need to be fine-tuned, including the lack of pixels in the front camera of the mobile phone, and some restaurants do not have space to install a tripod to place the phone.

The new Budget mentioned that additional consumer coupons will be distributed and the number will be increased to 10,000 yuan. He said that this is good news. After the distribution of 5,000 yuan consumer coupons last year, the industry's business has increased by 30% in the first week. I am worried that when the first issue of electronic consumption coupons is distributed in April, the epidemic has not subsided, and the public may wait until the premises reopen before making purchases.
