GEORGE TOWN: Food caterers are facing gloomy days ahead as many have yet to receive any booking for Hari Raya.
Shafiz Rahim Raja said although it was less than two weeks before the festive period, he had yet to receive a single order for Hari Raya open house or family gatherings.
The 37-year-old, who has been in the food catering business since 2018, said he used to receive orders for up to 500 people for an open house before the pandemic hit.
