 The state of the country’s QSR industry

As with other foodservice segments, the quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry in the Philippines recorded massive revenue losses in 2020 compared to the previous year. The decrease was attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in heightened social distancing measures, causing reluctance in visiting restaurants among Filipinos. Limited dining capacity was also imposed to curb the infections, contributing to minimal revenue. The QSR industry in the Philippines has shown improvement in revenue in 2022, which was forecast to continue increasing in 2023.
