Serge Litvine, famous Brussels restaurateur, published an open letter in which he points out teleworking which “contributes to the gloomy and desert atmosphere of certain neighborhoods“. How many tables on average do restaurateurs lose due to teleworking?
Since Covid and the implementation of teleworking, attendance has fallen by 30% in City 2, in the heart of the capital, and by 50% in the European district, according to figures from the Horeca Brussels federation.
The federation wants the world to evolve, and it has never stopped adapting. But there, with customers’ purchasing power at half mast, the rise in the prices of raw materials and the basic costs of establishments, the speech is frankly pessimistic.
According to its president Matthieu Léonard, although restaurateurs aim for excellence, whatever their category, it is legitimate to wonder if we will still be gathering at restaurants for a long time if we continue to put obstacles in their way. .
He is not calling for the elimination of teleworking, but he is proposing not to resort to it further. A day or two a week wouldn’t be bad.
