The post-pandemic world will not be the same

22 03 2021

Caner Dikici, Board Member of TFI TAB Food Investments and CEO of TAB Gıda, made the following statements to Hürriyet Newspaper: “We have been leading the fast-food sector for 25 years, and more than 1300 of our 2,500 restaurants are located in China. In this period, the Chinese state also took measures to support the economy. Now things go back to normal there.

Our experiences in the fight against coronavirus in China have brought us a significant contribution to benefit them in our country. With Tıkla Gelsin, Yemeksepeti, mobile, online ordering platforms, and our Gel-Al application, we continue to serve under the social distance rules. We regularly measure the body temperature of both our employees and couriers. Right before the orders depart, we share this information via our information slips. The world will never be the same from now on. Now we should all think about how we can maintain our jobs in such periods and prepare. In this period, we see that digitalization, e-commerce, and innovative solutions came to the fore. It seems that many players in the sector will reconsider their business model in the upcoming period. If another issue or a big change is triggered, it's hard to stay strong for those who are not well prepared. That's why a new period will begin in which our industry will rebuild itself.”
