Eight sectors with business and job opportunities at the time of Covid-19

Crises bring with them great uncertainties and ardent debates, and the one about how the Coronavirus is upsetting various sectors of the economy and at the same time creating business opportunities is very heated.

The storm will pass, but different aspects of the world that awaits us when the waters have calmed will be determined by the opportunities we will already seize in this period. Let’s try to throw down some examples and some reflections on eight sectors in great ferment.

In the food sector, virtual restaurants could also take off in Europe, those that do not have a lounge for guests and that only offer take-away and home delivery. In addition to being in line with social distancing, this business model makes it possible to make the management of raw materials and costs more efficient thanks to flexible menus and reduced physical spaces. If it is not possible to organize yourself to go to a restaurant with friends, a valid alternative could be to hire a chef and have him cook at home. In some countries it is already a fashion, and many cooking enthusiasts could also reinvent themselves, giving life to a new trend.

Delivery could expand further with partnerships and bundles. Someone has already thought of it: a cooking workshop that, not being able to devote itself temporarily to the core business of face-to-face courses and catering, can also organize itself for somewhat particular deliveries. On one specific occasion s u c h the one of Mother’s Day, for example, the business can offer a set that includes not only a sweet but also a present brought together in a precious Covid partnership.
