Food and beverage outlets in Singapore are optimistic about increased revenue despite the early match times. Simon Tan, director of ARFC Singapore at Woodleigh, said, "We usually do not serve breakfast but due to the World Cup, we have come up with a brunch menu as we will operate earlier. With extended operating timings, we expect the revenue to increase" [6]. ARFC Singapore anticipates a 50% boost in sales during the tournament through new menu offerings and renovations [2, 6, 7, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11]. Bars such as Muddy Murphy’s plan to bring in former football stars and hold promotions during matches [6, 7, 9, 10, 11]. Harry’s restaurant and bar chain will limit its screenings to its Boat Quay outlet but expects greater foot traffic, commenting, "We’re optimistic about seeing an uplift in both footfall and revenue.
