Abstract

The current world is undergoing transformations that directly or indirectly affect all its inhabitants. There is no doubt that the year 2020 was marked in world history by the Covid-19 pandemic, which had a great global impact. In this scenario, due to social isolation, micro and small companies end up being the most affected, since most of them operate in the commerce and service sectors, in addition to formal or informal workers who are unable to carry out their activities. Therefore, the present work seeks to understand the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has on the scenario of micro and small companies in the field of Restaurants in Laranjal do Jari-AP, through a bibliographical review with an exploratory approach. It is essential for the Brazilian government to position itself in order to support entrepreneurs, especially owners of micro and small companies, so that it is possible to rebuild and resume the economy. In short, the recovery of the economy should take place at a slow pace, and will require administrative strategies and incentive policies so that entrepreneurs can gain momentum and maintain their companies. It is concluded that entrepreneurs in the restaurant business had to use some alternatives so that their business was not completely closed, where many have still not been able to recover from this very delicate moment that was a pandemic, where they used delivery, reduction of working hours, dismissal of their employees, where they claimed that they suffered a great negative impact on their enterprise, mainly as the loss of income and illness of employees, in which they were not prepared to go through this period.
