“…However, with the increasing awareness of the high infectivity and high treatment cost of the disease [ 19 ], the number of communal meal sharing is still at a low level. Consistent with previous studies [ 6 , 31 ], we also find that the COVID-19 crisis changes the behavior of meal gathering across the country, which suggests that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is more general but not region specific.…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chinese government adopted a series of preventative measures to control the spread of the virus. This paper studies the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated prevention methods on meal sharing in China. Meal gathering during multiple periods before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 is captured through two waves of online survey across China between March and June 2020, collecting a total of 1847 observations. We employ the difference-in-difference (DID) method to identify the causal effects of COVID-19 severity on meal sharing. The results show that relative to the same period in 2019, the frequency of meal gathering decreased sharply after the initial outbreak of the coronavirus in 2020 in both epicenters and non-epicenters. Furthermore, the impact of COVID-19 differed across different types of meal sharing. Our findings have implications for consumers, food service operators, as well as policymakers to understand the social and community impact of the pandemic and to adjust their coping strategies.

“…As the topic of the COVID-19 pandemic touched extensive areas of economic sectors, so it is natural that there is plenty of research regarding this theme (Christophe et al, 2022;Hokama et al, 2022;Nurmohamed et al, 2022;Pinchera et al, 2022;Schmidt et al, 2022;Su et al, 2022;Wang et al, 2022). Lots of these researches are investigating the impact of COVID-19 on the economy (Atsız & Cifci, 2021;Hyman et al, 2021;Keogh-Brown et al, 2020;Malik et al, 2022;Pham et al, 2021b); others are making the prognoses (Atsız & Cifci, 2021;Hyman et al, 2021;Keogh-Brown et al, 2020;Malik et al, 2022;Pham et al, 2021b) or giving recommendations (Atsız & Cifci, 2021;Hyman et al, 2021;Keogh-Brown et al, 2020;Malik et al, 2022;Pham et al, 2021b), and only some of these scientific publications are dedicating the research about the impact of COVID -19 on a food and beverage service enterprises (Atsız & Cifci, 2021;Hyman et al, 2021;Keogh-Brown et al, 2020;Malik et al, 2022;Pham et al, 2021b) In order to conduct an analysis of the mass of published work, a selection of research and scholarly publications on the state of the situation in Europe, Canada, the United States, and Malaysia during the epidemic have been chosen. As the COVID -19 pandemic is a worldwide issue, the preventative plans and procedures of the various nations are more or less similar.…”

Research purpose. This study aims to assess the impact of selected economic indicators (independent variables) on the turnover of food and beverage service companies in Lithuania. Design / Methodology / Approach. In order to achieve the intended goal of the study, an analysis of scientific articles was performed, with the primary aim of finding out the consequences of the COVID - 19 pandemic on the Lithuanian economy and selecting five independent variables that could affect the turnover of food and beverage companies. After analysing the literature, five independent variables were highlighted: the number of tourists accommodated, the statistics of Vilnius Airport flights, the number of employees hired, the unemployment rate and inflation. Findings. The correlation and regression analysis results show that the turnover of catering and beverage enterprises and the number of accommodated tourists are strongly correlated (r---gt--- 0.90). Meanwhile, the linear correlation between the number of Vilnius Airport flights and the number of hired employees with the research variable is average (0.60 ---lt---r ---lt---0.70). However, the linear correlation of macroeconomic factors such as unemployment and inflation with the turnover of food and beverage enterprises is statistically insignificant. Originality / Value / Practical implications. The originality of this article is that it studies the valuable topic of the COVID-19 crisis in service sectors, which substantially impacted Lithuania’s economy and adversely affected the economic performance of the region in general. The results of this research will contribute to future monitoring and crisis planning in particular sectors.

“…In the last two years several papers examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sharing economy. Many of them are focused on a specific industry such as accommodation, food and online job (Atsız and Cifci, 2021;Papagiannidis and Davlembayeva, 2021;Umar et al, 2021). Case studies on sharing economy platforms (usually Airbnb and Uber) have also been proposed through the analysis of their actions in a definite geographic area (Atsız and Cifci, 2021;Gaber and Elsamadicy, 2021;Gossen and Reck, 2021;Katta et al, 2020;Ndaguba, 2021;Vinod and Sharma, 2021).…”

Only few scholars studied the business model adaptation that sharing platforms are actually carrying gout (Dolnicar and Zare, 2020;Meenakshi, 2021;Zhu and Liu, 2021).…”

PurposeThe sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has led in a very short time to a worldwide pandemic that has had severe effects on both businesses and daily lives. In a scenario characterised by the social distancing imperative, the sharing economy found itself struggling to survive, deprived of its core asset, namely, peer (human) relationships. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the coping strategies that have been implemented by sharing economy platforms to navigate the pandemic.Design/methodology/approachAn explorative empirical investigation of 20 sharing economy platforms was carried out during the first lockdown phase (March–June 2020). To drive the analysis, a theoretical framework was developed by merging the literature on the business model and crisis management strategies.FindingsThe answers provided by sharing economy platforms to the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have been classified into nine typologies of intervention according to the developed framework, with illustrative examples.Originality/valueThis paper provides an empirical investigation into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sharing economy field and it offers evidence about the immediate reactions of sharing platforms to the health crisis effects. The paper also introduces a framework about business model and crisis management strategies as a conceptual tool that could be adopted by firms from other industries.
