Limitations

There is a lack of research concerning Covid-19, and significantly less regarding the mental health effects of Covid-19 in the restaurant industry—understandably so, given that it is an ongoing issue. Therefore, this study does not and cannot address pandemic-related contexts and experiences during or after December 2021.

Another notable limitation is logistics. Time constraints and minimal resources contribute to a limited number of participants. Furthermore, there has been significant turnover in the industry since the beginning of the pandemic, and many voices will not be heard by this study (Lorinc, 2021, para. 2).
