Research on Variable Factors of Service Industry Growth Gaps----Take Tianjin as an example

The growth of the food and beverage service industry in the 2010s obscured the decline of one of its sectors: bars and drinking establishments with limited food offerings. This research notepresents 2006-2016 data from the U.S. Census Bureau County Business Patterns, a time periodthat captures industry peaks on either side of the Great Recession of 2008. Data show that whilethe food and beverage service sector as a whole grew by 17.7%, the bar sector decreased by10.5%. City-level data from the 30-largest municipalities show much internal variation in both sectors, but the bar sector’s share of the food and beverage service industry declined in 28 of 30 municipalities under study. Restaurant industry growth in this decade ranged from 5.0% to 48.4%, while bar sector change ranged from -37.7% to an increase of 56.5%. The implications of this changing industry mix and its municipal variation are discussed for future research into the changing food and drink service industry, its role in urban revitalization, strategies for publichealth and safety, and the likely acceleration of these trends due to COVID-19.
