<![CDATA[This study investigates the systemic barriers hindering the business resilience of culinary Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. Adopting a descriptive qualitative approach, the research integrates a comprehensive literature review with Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving entrepreneurship experts. Data were analyzed using a cause-and-effect framework to map causal relationships and a priority matrix to identify critical inhibitors. The findings reveal that low business resilience is primarily driven by three critical factors: limited post-pandemic working capital, low digital literacy coupled with technological resistance, and supply chain inefficiencies caused by multiple intermediaries. Specifically, liquidity constraints emerged as the highest priority, followed by digital capability gaps. The study implies that enhancing resilience requires multidimensional interventions beyond conventional financial aid, focusing on inclusive digital literacy education, capital access reform through digital transaction data, and the establishment of transparent B2B digital logistics ecosystems. These results provide a strategic roadmap for policymakers to foster a more adaptive and sustainable MSME sector.]]>
