Restaurant Reservations
Another anomaly in restaurant reservations numbers this week, with Georgia seeing a sharp 27%yoy jump up July 3rd, followed by a steep drop of 31%yoy the following day. It is unsure whether this is from the uptick in corona cases in the US, from the holiday weekend, or a combination of both.
Casual Dining, Fast food, and Bars
This week saw a plateau and even slight decline in both casual dining and fast food foot traffic. Casual dining peaked at 70.71%yoy and dropped down approximately 1% over the week, while bars peaked 82.5%yoy followed by an approximate 4% decrease. This drop stems from the increase in COVID-19 cases in the US. States like Texas and California have already restricted restaurants and bars again due to this increase, expect to see other states follow a similar behavior. Fast food remains unaffected.
