The Russian catering market, the volume of which exceeded 60 billion rubles at the end of 2019, may be reduced to 25 billion rubles by the end of this year. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Russian catering companies have begun to redesign their business - mainly for the delivery of corporate food, Kommersant reports.

      Thus, catering aggregator Catery will deliver meals from more than 20 of its partners, including Azbuka Vkusa, Gorod-Sad, Subway, Prime, etc. The company expects that in a year this direction will bring up to 30% of revenue... The catering branch of the Anderson cafe chain will also be engaged in corporate catering.

      Aleksey Panov, a representative of the Khleb Nasuschny chain, said that the chain will send the capacity vacated due to the reduction in catering for the production of semi-finished products, frozen proceeds, etc. The products will be sold through the chain's online store. “Of course, sales do not compensate for catering revenue yet, but we expect an increase in turnover in a new direction,” he said.
