概要

In the past 48 hours, the restaurant and bar industry faces mounting pressures from global supply chain disruptions and tariff hikes, though U.S. services sector data signals resilience. The ISM Services PMI hit 56.1 percent in February 2026, marking continued expansion with new orders and backlogs surging—backlogs up 11.9 points to 55.9 percent, the highest since July 2022—driven by strong business activity in accommodation and food services.[3] Prices eased slightly to 63 percent from 66.6 percent in January, yet remain elevated for 15 months, with gasoline noted as rising for the first time since February 2025.[3]

Middle East tensions, including military conflict in the Strait of Hormuz, threaten 18 percent of global shipping and air cargo, risking sharp spikes in food, drink, and perishable prices worldwide.[2] This echoes Canadian warnings of higher grocery costs from Iran-related energy pressures.[4] Meanwhile, the U.S. plans to raise its global tariff to 15 percent this week under Section 122, fast-tracking Section 301 probes that could embed higher import costs, as tariffs stabilize in supply chains per industry comments.[5][3]

In Mexico, security risks have slashed foot traffic by up to 60 percent, halting delivery platforms and breaking logistics.[1] Accommodation and food services respondents report addressing price-value perceptions amid tariff relief from India inventories, while adapting to embedded costs.[3]

Compared to January, supplier deliveries slowed further at 53.9 percent, inventories expanded to 56.4 percent in food services, and imports rebounded to 51.8 percent.[3] Leaders respond by diversifying suppliers, building buffers, and per HBR guidance, treating tariffs as persistent—10 rules urge absorbing impacts via agile operations.[6] Consumer behavior shifts toward value sensitivity, with no major new launches or deals reported, but unseasonal cold boosted some demand.[3] Overall, growth persists amid volatility, a step up from prior contraction signals.
