So far, only 2% of those surveyed by LocalCircles have visited restaurants, while 28% of those surveyed said they have consumed restaurant food but most opted for in-home ordering. LocalCircles said the trend is likely to see an incremental change over the next two months, with slightly more consumers opting for restaurant food but doing so largely through ordering in. However, a significant 64% said they have no plans to visit a restaurant nor do home delivery of restaurant food. LocalCircles conducted a survey to understand out-of-home food consumption in the past two months, and whether diners will continue ordering in or visit restaurants over the next two months. The LocalCircles survey noted that many restaurant owners believe their business might improve once outdoor dining is allowed.
