The dining industry in South Korea is facing tough times as economic recession and rising prices hit the sector hard, leaving many small business owners worried. Over 200,000 restaurant owners shut their doors in recent months. The current perceived business condition index fell to 71.52, indicating more restaurants are experiencing decreased sales. With inflation, increased ingredient and labor costs, and currency exchange issues, restaurant operators are struggling. The industry is calling for governmental economic stimulus measures. Without aid, the outlook remains grim as consumer spending decreases and operational costs rise.
