[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Written by somebody who has no idea how tiny the margins are in the food service industry. Takeout is now the only way restaurants can survive. This is particularly true during "Dry January" when nobody is having drinks. You can thank the cannabis industry and whatever force is behind the war on low to moderate alcohol use for the eventual demise of the restaurant industry. I predict that within 5 years we will have very few restaurants left to enjoy. [/quote]

We just need fewer restaurants. There is less demand for dining out but that doesn't mean there is no demand. We need fewer in person restaurants, but let's make them good. And we can do that by no longer having these restaurants trying to cater to both in-person customers and delivery at the same time, which greatly reduces the quality of experience for in-person customers, which only decreases demand for that experience.

I think you will also see more of the in-person restaurants only being open 4 nights a week (Thursday-Sunday) and only being open for dinner. But the commercial kitchens providing delivery could do so 7 days a week and with broader hours -- whenever there is demand for delivery.

The reduction in drinking just means restaurants need to pivot to what people do want. Do you not understand that drinking habits have evolved considerably over the history of dining out? It's not like the dining out culture of 2015 was an exact replica of the dining out culture of 1982 or 1955.[/quote]

I got going to pay what food preparation as service worth. But I will overpay for my alcohol addiction to cover the food costs. [/quote]
