Rapid demand and greater working capital requirements as restrictions ended.

Consolidation due to prior overexpansion and cost-burden of the ‘new normal’ including staff shortages.

Implementing contactless interactions through mobile apps and Near Field Communication (NFC)

Upgrading hygiene and safety measures to offset customer concerns.
