According to a survey by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), there were 5.28 million food and beverage (F&B) business units in Indonesia in 2024.

These business units absorbed 19.48 million workers, making it one of the sectors contributing to job creation in Indonesia.

Within the F&B business group, restaurants or eateries absorbed the most labor.

There are also quite a number of workers in other F&B businesses, which include food stalls, beverage stalls, bars, nightclubs/discotheques, pubs/cafes, and traditional medicine houses/stalls.

Here is a breakdown of the number of F&B workers in Indonesia by type of business in 2024:

Restaurants/eateries: 12.27 million people
Catering services: 1.90 million people
Mobile/non-permanent F&B businesses: 1.23 million people
Other F&B businesses: 4.07 million people

In 2024, 50.65% of F&B workers in Indonesia were male and 49.35% were female.

The majority were paid workers, totaling 12.82 million people or about 65.8% of the total workforce. The remaining 6.66 million people, or 34.2%, were unpaid workers.

"Unpaid workers are family workers who usually actively participate in managing business activities/companies but do not receive wages/salaries," BPS stated in its report.

Based on education level, the majority of F&B workers were high school graduates/equivalent (60.83%), followed by junior high school graduates (18.48%), elementary school graduates/did not complete elementary school (12.90%), and diploma/bachelor's degree holders (7.79%).
