Footfall to Restaurants and Pubs in the UK has climbed to a third of pre-lockdown levels, with high-frequency geo-data showing how attendance has continued to rise following ‘Super Saturday’ but remains low overall.
According to Huq’s Index for Restaurants and Pubs, footfall reached a new high of 33% of ‘normal’ levels on Friday (10 July).
Quick Service Restaurants continue to see the highest amount of footfall in comparison to pre-lockdown levels, reaching 35% and since last Saturday, Pubs have climbed to a similar number (33%). Restaurants, who are perhaps the most impacted by social distancing measures, are seeing the least amount of comparative footfall.
The data suggests that the hospitality sector may see more of a ‘bathtub’ shaped recovery rather than the ‘V’ it might have been hoping for. With the Chancellor pledging to ‘go dutch’ with people from Monday-Wednesday throughout August, further analysis of Huq’s Index will show how many people take him up on the offer to ‘Eat Out to Help Out’.
