If in 2019 you haven't bothered to buy the domain name for your restaurant you can't call this "cybersquatting", honestly.

  They're setting up domain names similar to ones the restaurants already own (ie the restaurant owns .com, they buy .net and drive traffic to it)

  How many domains should I be expected to buy? Give me a restaurant and I could probably come up with 100 reasonable sounding domains the could potentially be that restaurant.
