Nearly 600 people in need received public donations from The Boathouse at Boulters Lock through QikServe’s digital ordering platform, Preoday

Support for the local community, as well as their own staff and frontline workers emerged as the most important thing a business or brand must demonstrate in order to win customers back into pubs, bars, restaurants, cafés and stores.

Preoday, along with our parent company, QikServe, and Eagle Eye have surveyed consumers to find out their attitudes to eating out as the lockdown lifts. The results are really interesting.

Since lockdown, businesses and their customers have shown just how resilient they are.

A new feature of the Preoday blog is our monthly hospitality and restaurant industry news roundup. Here we wish to share the news stories that have caught our attention, and point out the events that might impact the food, retail and/or hospitality industries going forward.
