HO CHI MINH CITY -- Dining out, it seems, is out. And delivery is in.
Across Asia, long after COVID-19 has dissipated, customers still have not returned to restaurants in their previous numbers. Restaurant dining makes up about 60% of the food service industry in Asia, according to market researcher Euromonitor. That is a sharp drop from 76% in 2019, data this month showed, with delivery apps such as Grab and Shopee making up much of the difference.
