Removing commonly used beverage dispensers, signaling establishments to ensure social distancing, and installing doors with a foot opening are some of the adaptations that restaurants will have to make to operate in the new commercial environment.
The restaurant sector has been one of the hardest hit by the covid-19 outbreak, as in most countries the authorities have prohibited these establishments from serving their customers in the table area and only allow them to sell take-out.
The installation of acrylic sheets in customer service windows and the distribution of work areas guaranteeing a meter of distance between employees are some of the measures that have been applied by fast food chains in Panama.
Following the covid-19 outbreak, companies have faced health and safety challenges and have had to reinvent themselves in order to continue operating.

The growing tendency to order food from home through digital platforms is causing a decrease in business profits, as they must assume the cost of service delivery commissions and sometimes those of additional promotions offered by the applications.
Digital applications such as Uber Eats, Hugo App, Go Pato, Glovo and Rappi, which offer in Costa Rica the service of home delivery of food and other items, have gained much popularity among consumers, so restaurants have had to adapt their internal processes to this new trend.
In Panama, a tender is held for the supply of food prepared for consumption by patients and staff of the Santo Tomás Hospital from September 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020.

In Panama, in the last three decades the business has been growing, which is reflected in the considerable increase in franchises, which compete for a share of the market.
The first international franchises to reach the country were Pizza Hut and Domino's Pizza in 1987 and 1988, respectively. Then others were established such as Tamburelli Pizza & Pasta, Athen´s Pizza, Ciao Bella Pizza, Pizzería Italiana and Napoles.
In order to grow their brands, one of the bets that restaurants in Costa Rica are making is to market their products in supermarkets.
