Food Retail Environment Study for Health & Economic Resiliency (FRESHER)
FRESHER Conducting Survey of Employees, Managers & Owners in Food and Beverage Sector
Background Information
The Food Retail Environment Study for Health and Economic Resiliency (FRESHER) is a pilot study of the effects of COVID-19 on restaurants, fast food outlets, grocery stores, cafes, bars, pubs and alcohol retail stores in Ontario, across all types of communities.
FRESHER is conducting a survey of employees, managers and owners to determine how the pandemic has affected individual people, as well as interviewing business owners to determine the impacts of the pandemic and subsequent government and other organizational support programs and policies.
The evidence we gather from this study will be useful for policymakers to asess the impacts of COVID-19 on the sector and to provide evidence that can be used to create support programs and policies that will aid in the recovery of the industry. FRESHER also hopes to learn and compile strategies that food business owners have used to keep their businesses open and to share this information as a helpful resource for the entire industry.
