RESTAURANTS AND CAFES IN KUWAIT COULD TAKE UP TO 5 YEARS TO RECOVER

  • 03/03/2022

Kuwait City: Despite a two-year hiatus, restaurants and cafes in Kuwait are still suffering from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, according to Fahd Al-Arbash, President of the Kuwaiti Federation of Restaurants, Cafes, and Catering. He predicted that the restaurant industry in Kuwait will suffer for the next five years unless the government intervened to assist the local economy and open up tourist and employment opportunities.


Owners of restaurants and cafés are crippled with loans and rentals as a result of the closure of commercial and economic activities; additionally, employee salaries and incidental charges have piled up as a result of the pandemic conditions. 

Many restaurants in Kuwait have become reliant on home delivery orders; nevertheless, there has been a drop in orders due to the number of individuals who are either spending their vacations on farms, chalets, and hotels or travelling abroad.

Restaurants and cafes that benefit from citizens are generally located in major commercial complexes, but these restaurants account for only 20% of all restaurants in Kuwait. The remaining 80% of restaurants are experiencing revenue declines.
