EOTHO scheme boosts restaurant spending by 34%

The UK Government’s ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ (EOTHO) scheme saw diners spend 34.2% more at restaurants and fast food outlets on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in August than they did in July.

This is according to new data from Barclaycard, which showcased the “success” of the Government scheme. In addition, with businesses able to claim back the discounts given during the scheme (up to £10 per diner), revenues will reportedly be boosted even further.
