Track: Supply Chain Management (SCM)

Abstract

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on supply chain logistics is on a global scale. This impact extends to the smaller, family-owned businesses, whose owners often rely on for their day to day living expenses. This study explores the current state of existing literature relating to supply chain management in restaurants on a global scale from the last 12 years. A distinction is made on the pre-Covid-19 period (2010-2019) and the years of its biggest impact (2020-2022) to better identify the evolution of the focus of studies and the strategies implemented to counteract the impact of the pandemic. The bibliometric analysis will be performed on scientific source database websites, such as Scopus and Web of Science, using keywords to identify relevant documents. VosViewer will be used to visualize the bibliometric network between authors, keywords and publication periods.
