In 2019，despite macroeconomic pressure，the catering industry continued to maintain rapid growth，and continued to make outstanding contributions in the fields of stabilizing growth，promoting consumption，stabilizing employment and benefiting people’s livelihood. In the whole industry，the digital development was accelerated，the industrial ecology became increasingly prosperous，and the development quality was effectively improved. The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 has caused a great impact on the catering industry in good and stable development，and has exerted certain impact on the political and legal，economic，technological and social environment for the development of the catering industry. However，the epidemic situation does not change the long-term trend of good development of the catering industry. Therefore，the catering industry should thoroughly study and judge the changes in the development environment，reflect on the lessons，make in-depth analysis，actively respond to the crisis，turn the crisis into an opportunity，and accelerate the promotion of high-quality development led by innovative development，coordinated development，green development，shared development and open development.
