The National Restaurant Association (NRA) penned a letter about the restaurant industry's dire situation heading into the fall season.
They said the "struggling restaurant industry is of grave concern to us." The association included a new survey of the industry's economic conditions and concluded the "state a recovery from the ******* will be prolonged well into 2022." They warned: "the majority of full-service and limited-service operators say business conditions are worse now than three months ago."
Some key findings from the survey are
78% of operators say their restaurant experienced a decline in customer demand for indoor, on-premises dining in recent weeks.

63% of operators said their sales volume in August, historically one of the busiest months for restaurants, was lower than it was in August 2019.

Costs are up – 91% of operators are paying more for food; 84% have higher labor costs; 63% are paying higher occupancy costs, but profitability is down – 85% of operators reported smaller margins than before.

Although the industry has added back many of the jobs lost during the pandemic, 78% of operators say their restaurant doesn't have enough employees to support current customer demand.

95% of restaurant operators say their restaurant experienced supply delays or shortages of key food or beverage items during the past three months.
