To support restaurateurs in their reopening, TheFork launched a study* to its users, in order to give restaurants the keys to understand the behaviour of post-lockdown users and adapt to this new situation.

In terms of consumption budget, the study does not forecast any major impact: 57% of diners interviewed feel that their budget has not been impacted and do not plan to pay more attention to their restaurant expenses than before.

To ensure the best reopening, it is essential today for restaurateurs to reassure their customers: 73% of respondents declare that it is either “crucial” or “very important” to be informed about the health protocols implemented by restaurant.
