Consumption patterns that were previously carried out by the public physically, are now switching online and digitally. SMEs that are targeted in this research are culinary SMEs in the city of Palembang. The selection of culinary SMEs was carried out because of the rapid growth of culinary SMEs in the city of Palembang. This study will identify the influence of SMEs that utilize digital platforms on performance during the pandemic. The digital economy platform is measured through the digital platform capability variable, while the performance of SMEs is through the sales of SMEs during the pandemic. Then in looking at these variables, there is the ability of the network as a mediating variable and the age of SMEs and the size of SMEs as control variables. The results showed that platform capability had a significant effect on the performance variable of SMEs with a 95% confidence level. Likewise with network capabilities as a mediating variable between Platform capabilities and performance. Thus, it can be said that during the Covid-19 pandemic, Platform Capability will improve the performance of SMEs by increasing the network capabilities or network capabilities of these SMEs.
