Restaurants report drop in billing with street block – 02/14/2023 – Panel SA

Bars and restaurants located on the route of street blocks in the capital of São Paulo reported a drop in revenue over the weekend, according to Abrasel-SP (industry association).

In Largo do Arouche, in the central region, the decrease was 75%, according to Joaquim Saraiva, president of the administrative council of Abrasel-SP.

In Pinheiros, in the west zone of São Paulo, the drop in revenue was 40%.

“In the regions where the blocks pass, the customers of the bars and restaurants cannot get to the place, because the streets are prohibited. And the people who are in the blocks are not the customers who normally go to the restaurants”, says Saraiva.

In January, the entity already predicted the closure of some establishments to avoid the movement of revelers.

For next year’s Carnival, Abrasel-SP intends to take to the São Paulo City Hall the suggestion of moving blocks to other locations, such as the Interlagos Racetrack.
