The hospitality industry is on its knees. It is clear that this is a disaster for chefs and restaurant owners. No one knows how long it will last, but one thing is certain: the loss of revenue is already enormous. With these two initiatives, you can help your favorite hospitality business.

The coronavirus has placed enormous pressure on the hospitality industry’s cash flow. Major revenue losses, ongoing fixed expenses and fixed personnel costs; the closure of the hospitality industry is leading to acute liquidity problems, and every form of help is needed to ensure that cafés and restaurants survive and can make a strong start after this coronavirus crisis. How can you help? By ordering takeaway meals and by buying a gift voucher, for example. And two new platforms have been launched for this purpose today.

Takeaway

Many restaurants are starting to offer takeaway now that they can no longer receive guests. But where exactly can you pick up food, and from which restaurants? Following Belgium and the Waarkanikafhalen.be platform, since today you can see on the Dutch website Waarkanikafhalen.nl where the tastiest dishes can be picked up.

Gift vouchers

Several restaurants had already called on people via social media to purchase gift vouchers, but now there is the new platform helpdehoreca.nl, where you can purchase vouchers from Friday, March 20, which can be redeemed later. This way, entrepreneurs are still receiving much-needed income right now—and you’ll have something nice to look forward to once the doors open again!
