COVID-19's impact on the fast food industry

Efforts to contain the spread of the virus caused restaurant chains to restrict its operations to take-out orders or delivery only, as indoor dining was not possible due to social distancing orders. In the United States, restaurant traffic to the fast food restaurants experienced a nearly 20 percent decline in restaurant traffic during this period.
