This article examines and analyzes the statistics on the development of restaurant enterprises in Ukraine during the war, and
presents innovative approaches to transformations that have occurred due to extraordinary events. Innovation, by definition,
implies novelty, a recent change, or invention. Therefore, in this work, innovative approaches refer to the innovations introduced
to enhance the resilience of the restaurant industry in Ukraine. To characterize and determine these changes, the operation of
restaurant establishments was analyzed over the specified period 2020–2023 and indicators that affect the activity of restaurant
establishments were identified. The impact of the state of emergency (war) on the functioning of public catering establishments
was analyzed. It was determined that the war could have a significant impact on the restaurant industry in Ukraine on several
levels: economic impact – the armed conflict can lead to a decrease in the purchasing power of the population due to reduced
wages, unemployment, and a general economic downturn; security –military actions can complicate the operation of restaurants
due to restricted access to certain areas or increased security threats for both staff and customers; supply – the war can
disrupt supply chains, especially if restaurants rely on imported products, which can lead to increased food prices or even
shortages; tourism – the war can deter tourists from visiting the country, leading to a reduction in the number of clients in
restaurants, particularly in tourist locations. Innovative approaches and solutions that positively affect the stability of restaurant
establishments in Ukraine were analyzed and systematized. Recommendations were developed to enhance the resilience of
restaurant establishments during force majeure and emergency situations. Analyzing the transformations and the implemented
innovative approaches in the restaurant sector of Ukraine is important for understanding the dynamics of changes and gaining
experience for potential further adaptation to extraordinary conditions.
