May food and beverage sales increase by 46.4% to $617m

More than a third of F&B sales were done online.

Sales of food and beverage (F&B) services increased by 46.4% to $617 million in May, according to the latest government data.

This was attributed to the low base last year during the Circuit Breaker period, where dining-in at establishments was not allowed.

However, this is still below pre-COVID levels.

Food caterers have yet to recover from the pandemic, with a 52.3% decline in sales in May.

Meanwhile, restaurant sales grew by 89.5%, cafe and other eating places by 54.4% and fastfood outlets by 37.2%.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
