As the coronavirus pandemic forced stay-at-home orders and closures of local restaurants, it drove innovations like online ordering and virtual cooking shows. One report, from the National Restaurant Association in January 2021, showed the food and beverage sector was devastated, costing nearly 2.5 million jobs compared to pre-coronavirus levels. At the peak of initial closures, the association estimates up to 8 million employees were laid off or furloughed.
