Restaurant industry – One of India’s biggest employment and revenue generators – needs a dedicated ministry
At a dinner, while showcasing his new menu, in between explaining a dish and pointing at happy diners, a restaurateur remarked food and beverage industry is the biggest entertainment industry in the country. He asserted it far surpasses cricket and Bollywood. He explained when happy, people eat out, if they’ve had a long day, they order in. Birthdays, promotions, celebrations, mourning, hookup, breakup… restaurants are a setting for every occasion and emotion.
He wasn’t wrong.
