Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has a direct impact on public health. Within the longer term, different execution measurements, such as return on venture by the firms, the commitment of the firms to the net household item (GDP), and worker measure, are all anticipated to diminish. Whereas this inquire about is novel and contributes to both hypothesis and hone, it does not consider little and medium-sized companies within the nourishment and refreshment industry. In this manner, the impacts and procedures we distinguish may not apply to littler companies. Online stages have gotten to be a center these days as an instrument to assist a few every day schedules such as e-commerce counting nourishment requesting, online keeping money, social organizing, and numerous more. Nourishment requesting through online stages, for occurrence, have advanced due to the developing numbers of clients of advanced stages, restaurant-goers, and numerous more. The later widespread of coronavirus has changed the situation of brick-and-mortar businesses whereas most governments constrained to closed down and force strict directions of lockdown and social removing among citizens. Also This study was conducted to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the health services in the of Malaysia. Among the advantages of using this food delivery service include saving time, saving money, saving energy and so on. As for the weaknesses of food delivery services, it can be seen in terms of the risk of hazards that can threaten the safety of food delivery workers, the use of large capital for small amounts of food, food hygiene and so on. When this study is completed, we can identify the satisfaction of each individual with this food service. Perception of value and quality of services provided to customers, the higher the level customer satisfaction and loyalty. This finding has implications for customer satisfaction Fast food restaurants can be maintained through providing quality food, a sense of value good quality service, real and show empathy for customers.

I. INTRODUCTION
Today, the relationship between humans and information technology is inseparable. This is because information technology has now influenced human needs and plays a role in daily activities. This is indicated by the increasing development activities in the technology sector in improving the country's economy today [1]. Today's advantages in using computers in the workplace are the ability to perform data processing and data storage processes to be faster and more accurate. The restaurant is the main venue serving hot cooked food. Thus, a food company requires efficient and efficient management in terms of food production, use of space and raw materials, and labourproductivity [2]. All incoming customers want a period of service short, tasty food, efficient service, and affordable prices [3]. Therefore, restaurant management must take the first step in promising the best for customers.
In taking the first step towards promising the best for customers, there are many online food ordering systems for customers to place food orders wherever they are. However, based on observations made, most of the existing food ordering systems have components that do not produce accurate data [4]. So, it is very fortunate for restaurants that use services like Food Panda to make it easier for their customers to buy their favourite dishes because this is the heyday of the millennial generation who like to order food from home using only their smartphones [5].
The worldwide nourishment & refreshment industry incorporates different online nourishment chains and offline nourishment chains [6]. The nourishment & refreshment industry incorporates the companies working in preparing crude nourishment materials, bundling, and conveyance which incorporate arranged nourishments and bundled nourishments, beside alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments [7].
Key sectors to improve the sustenance and bonus industry sometime from late COVID-19 farther away are fostering the upheaval within the amount of rushing customers and the expanded design of tidy eating [8]. Assistance, constantly expanding people, capital compensation, and lifestyle changes were other development factors improving the sustenance and bonus industry [9]. Regardless, the major sectors affecting the sustenance and bonus industry after broad accession are joining the closure of restaurants and other seating areas.
II. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The Worldwide Food and Beverage Industry Report is fragmented and relies on separate natural ways of life. The COVID-19-episode double affected these departments. This includes separate sophisticated ways of life such as restaurants and bistros that are completely closed in certain areas [10]. Isolated from food chains, the stock network has been greatly affected by the inevitable COVID-19, as there is an exacerbation within the store network. As for the event, Coca Cola has seen delays in supplying raw texture from China due to mechanical hurdles identified with the spread of COVID-19 in China [11]. The Organization for Joint Economic Activity and Development forecast the most significant downward development in Australia, South Korea and Japan [12].
Notable players in the food and beverage industry around the world include Starbucks Corp.
And McDonald's Corp [13]. Subway, Burger King, and KFC. Due to the outbreak of the
COVID-19 pandemic, these organizations have been affected to a large extent, especially in any of the areas of ignition. Restaurants have been ordered to close completely anyway, food supplies can be accessed online [14]. For example, Starbucks closed a portion of nearly 2,000 outlets in China, and in any case, ordering food online is still available [15].
III. PROBLEM AND METHODOLOGY
The risk of developing COVID-19 has created the conditions that require labor to expand creativity. While expanded deals have helped many supermarkets, these organizations struggle to protect workers and customers from an infection whose properties are not yet fully absorbed. Additionally, more prominent use of disinfectants and physical changes in stores is driving costs up. As many buyers shop online, more modest food merchants, specifically, use outside transportation departments to get products to customers [16]. However, transport organizations have their own problems, including delayed transfers and business discussions, and few stores are investigating options, hiring their customers and employees. However, this additional expense could put retailers at risk so far.
Exploring these difficulties is vital to the names of stores that must keep food and various materials on the shelves while comforting customers that their welfare and the safety of their workers are guaranteed [17].
For merchants, meanwhile, the impact of ending the cafés and accommodations has been huge. To make up for the lost business, some try to supply the food retailers with all the things that were taken into consideration [18]. However, this progress includes expected barriers, from creating new connections to changing food packages for individual customers.
Adding to the problem is weakness as the coffee shops resume, and whether this market will return or remain essentially down no matter how long the returns are removed.
The Needs Identifying / Setting Requirements phase is the foundation of all other instructional design phases. At this stage, the maker must identify what the user wants about the application, how much capital is needed to pay for the meal and determine the category of food provided etc. and determine possible solutions [19]. The outcomes of this phase often include incarceration objectives, expenditure, and a list of food provided. This output will be the input for the Design (Re) stage, namely customer satisfaction with food service in this company.
The exploration group actually split up a report that monitors the impact of COVID-19 on the sustenance and bonus industry in general [20]. Thinking through essential questions and extended aids that are led by group exams. Assistive research has been directed at improving the data available. Certain methodologies have been shortened to derive respect and announce rate of progress. Within the report, the country is assessed by investigating various regional players, laws, approaches, customer behavior, and complete financial bits. The report joins examining different regions and countries and the impact of COVID-19 on the sustenance and reward industry in each region [21]. Other than this, the expected recovery path of business events will also be combined with the most impressive and riskiest outcome imaginable which is able to assist customers in ordering their future steps within the dynamic handle.
IV. DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC
"Leave food alone as medicine, and medicine be food" This term referring to the function of a nutritious and safe dinner in support of the nature of well-being is an expression available for use since ancient occasions, as has been validated by these words often incorrectly attributed
to Hippocrates. Topics about what you should and shouldn't get features typically as buyers look to adjust common sense advice and advertising patterns with their culinary preference, bunch, and adjacent food options they have access to.
With many individuals currently exposed to illness due to coronavirus disease, unfortunate eating regimes add to previous illnesses that make them even more defenseless against the risks of infection. In many parts of the world, bad methods have become lost wages. After that, the pandemic expanded the risks that customers, decision-makers, and decision-makers around the world perceived so what would be needed to get adequate good food? The response to this inquiry is more important and important than at any other time in recent memory. There is a lot of ambiguity regarding the ingredients of a proper eating routine and appropriate methods. In any case, there is an improved body of evidence and examination that highlights activities that save lives - or maybe just a little bit - improve the well-being of billions of people.
i. Diet quality is vital to well-being
Food systems are vital to the well-being of people all over the planet. Food is nothing but minimal anxiety: According to the Global Burden of Disease 2017 report, metabolic risks (cholesterol, circulatory stress, weight history, and glucose) are responsible for the five most important risk factors of inability and linger. More than two billion people are overweight or obese, and more than 70% of them are in central and low-wage countries. Dangerous foods caused 600 million sick people and 420,000 unexpected losses during 2010, according to the World Health Organization, in a way that undermines the well-being and food security of individuals. Evidence shows that individuals with pre-existing diseases related to diet, such as obesity, coronary artery disease and diabetes, suffer from the ill effects of contamination with the Coronavirus, such as the severity of the disease, and the expanding requirements for escalating medical care, such as ventilators.
Hunger likewise weakens the human resilient structure, which builds up the potential for contamination, persistence of infection, and disappearance due to it. Corrosive iron, iodine and folate deficiency is the most well-known type of health deficiency, affecting more than 2 billion people across the planet. This kind of "hidden hunger" not only increases the risk of illness and death, but also increases stunted growth, academic weakness, and perinatal discomforts. This weakens nations' human resources and possibilities for improvement.
ii. Expect food acceleration and feeding weakness
Worldwide nutritional and vital imbalances are expected to deteriorate significantly. The World Food Program has warned that severe food instability in low-wage and high-wage countries is likely to multiply this year, due to lost wages and money movements. Past experience in 2008 shows that a food emergency is on the horizon. Studies conducted in Bangladesh, Cambodia and Mauritania assessed the effects of the worldwide emergency on food costs in 2008, and highlighted the sharp expansion of the lack of healthy food among children with disabilities by half. Various investigations have found evidence of a decisive expansion of disability among children, in both urban and regional areas.
COVID-19 endangers food frameworks through disruption of welfare and dependency departments, loss of work and open wages, and disruption of nearby food supply chains, just like the direct result of pollution among the poor and vulnerable communities. At the same time, there is evidence showing a rapid development in the presentation of stories and perennial food items during the emergency, at the expense of new food items such as
vegetables and organic products, and protein-rich food sources such as vegetables, fish and meat. Low-quality food makers are counted as an opportunity to stretch a piece of pie.
Remote food ordering using computerized stages can maintain friendly segregation and customers don't need to stand really close in the area. Clients can submit orders electronically, which will be notified to them if orders are rejected, completed, or prepared for pre-selection. Many food organizations go to organizations online. Merchants may have the option of computing or squeezing food handling, while retailers can optimize online courses for shopping, transportation, and delivery on the sidewalk. Likewise, some food handling plants are considering adding scanners that can check workers' temperatures to ensure a safer workplace, but the implementation of such projects may include exchanges with associations.
Benefits of Internet Business to Enterprises and Clients, Perhaps the most unmistakable advantage of Internet business is the low cost Part of these lower expenses can be given to clients as limited costs.
It's not about pushing the cart on the right aisle or exploring the perfect item at this point. On a web-based business website, customers can instinctively navigate a route or use a checkbox to limit the search for their items instantly. Some sites mention customer preferences and shopping records to encourage buybacks.
V. POST-PANDEMIC: THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION AND THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE QUALITY OF FOOD SYSTEMS
Among the clear images of the Coronavirus epidemic, the contrast between livestock farmers who pour milk, pound eggs and vegetables in the dirt, and buyers who find nothing in front of them but empty stores, retirees and remain in long lines in food allocation centers.
This article emphasizes that the massive data and cost trade offenses in the volume of the largely broad eating routine must be reviewed to move to a more comprehensive, diversified, and manageable model. Although the immense range of modern commodity innovation associated with all planned stock chains has led to many additions, the risks of this framework are gradually becoming apparent. Advanced disruptions provide an opportunity for selective alignment, as frameworks that are adaptive and create limited scope can flourish and explore flawlessly in a changing business climate.
Today, the rapid turnaround of events and the dispersion of innovations and advanced organizations heralds the acceleration of change in the food framework by overcoming business disappointments and long-term strategy. Previous changes in the way that occurred in horticulture and food enterprises described by many rural disturbances increased agricultural efficiency and food supply, reduced real food costs, helped to give labor and capital assets to benefit in different areas, prepare them for the development of urban societies and modern disturbances, and paid By transforming agricultural endeavors into organizations. Different from previous disruptions that arose out of advances in farms before it spread to the country's grids, and then anchored here and there the value chain (ideally using a cast-iron tractor during the Agricultural Revolution in Britain; or improving seeds and compost during the Green Revolution), the advances are computerized. The current is fading in efficiency improvement in various areas along the food appreciation chain.
Advanced innovation is driving change on various fronts at an accelerating rate by collecting, using and deconstructing massive measures of machine meaningful information in nearly every part of the eating system, at nearly the minimum expense. Computerized phases from
Alibaba to YouTube generally are changing the usual framework-level business plans, and investment firms poured $ 2.8 billion into new agricultural innovation companies across the planet in 2019.
Whatever the case, computerized creativity only works for the intended reason. To achieve positive results, public arrangements must reinforce the integral foundation and human boundaries, address gender inconsistencies in asset acceptance, and pay close attention to natural benefits - all of which are prominent issues that will be addressed in our next report, Digital Acceleration of Agriculture Transforming. It will be distributed in late 2020.
Nevertheless, in this article we focus on just three suggestions to accelerate the move towards a more manageable food future. General strategies should seek to achieve three things, as follows: decentralization in business sectors and supply chains, subsequent decentralization, and dispersion of information.
VI. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Strong public concerns about COVID-19 unlimited has generally so far adversely affected the public payroll industry business, rewards and customer behavior, given the threats to prosperity. Help in the aforementioned parts and on the cash front, regardless of how expenditures for food and drink and regional transportation remain consistent, the postponed landscape of COVID-19 will lead to financial shocks and an increase in sustenance. While the transient impacts are more pronounced, it is possible to learn about the impacts and scale of the COVID-19 outbreak on the stock network within the long term. Evaluating such changes recommends that customers provide an ideal measure of time and effort that goes through restaurants without being served by diners for various reasons. Although this starting idea is binding for true use in e-commerce, it will surely support the thinking of data collection using overviews, internal and external evaluation of current work phases, and the arrangement of computer program requirements, forms and assurance activities for the program framework approach.
Also delivery service or better known as delivery service is not a strange thing in this country, it has even become a trend in the community to facilitate daily affairs. The public can choose to use runner services, namely private services that can deliver goods to customers or use applications from several companies that also provide this delivery service.
Currently, this shipping service is getting easier to find because many companies are introducing this type of shipping service in Malaysia. People are more open to choosing a variety of delivery services from whichever company they prefer.
