Portuguese restaurants expect that they will have to lay off more than 100,000 workers in the industry in the first quarter of this year. 

 

According to a survey among restaurant owners conducted by the National Hotel Promotion and Innovation Association PRO.VAR, business owners expect that by March, each restaurant will have to lay off 3 to 4 people. 

 

They blamed the pandemic, lockdowns, restrictions and lack of support funds for the epidemic forecast.
