dc.description.abstract | Purpose – Catering services play important role in the Spanish economy, accounting for 6.2% of GDP in 2021.
To overcome the adverse economic impacts of COVID-19, catering services are considered one of the drivers to
stimulate economic growth. Hence, the main aim of this paper is to analyse the sociodemographic profile of the
family’s main breadwinner who allocates most of his expenditure budget on different catering services before
and during the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 in Spain.
Design/methodology/approach – The official Family Budget Survey in Spain was used. This offers
information on expenditure by families in 2019 and 2020. CHAID multivariate analysis was employed. This has
proved a valuable tool in predicting expenditure, as well as determining the cause–effect relationship of this
expenditure.
Findings – Findings establish the main breadwinner’s expenditure on catering services based on predictors
such as “year” affected by the pandemic; “type of employment contract”; “gender”; and “age”. A gender
“pub-gap” in consumption in bars and cafes has been revealed, and families with a male breadwinner, on a
permanent contract, between the age of 40 and 60 spent the most on catering services.
Originality/value – This research presents a new interdisciplinary approach to family breadwinners as a
company whose spend on catering is shaping the economic recovery and leading to new answers for hospitality
management. Identified factors can lead to improved decision-making and contextualisation of economic
models for food service providers in a post-pandemic future. | es |
