The following factors contributed to this outlook:

A more difficult economic context and changes in consumer habits could undermine business profitability and limit the ability of companies to recruit staff. However, the anticipated decline in customers in restaurants with dining rooms in favour of fast food or take-out meals could benefit this occupation, as the majority of jobs are in these establishments.
After more than two years of travel restrictions, the recovery of leisure tourism will be beneficial to the occupation.
However, the continuation of remote work in companies and the slow recovery of business tourism could deprive restaurants of part of their clientele, especially in city centres.
Nonetheless, people with experience will easily find work. In addition, the scarcity of available labour will improve prospects for less experienced job seekers.
