It's impossible to operate a profitable restaurant? I mean, that's obviously false.
But let's say you meant difficult rather than impossible. Rising rents make things more expensive for sure, but regulation? Which regulation? I worked in a restaurant for years and I can't think of a regulation I had to deal with that wasn't about food safety and employee protections...
- unishark 7y agoIt's not obviously false. If an old first-generation immigrant running a hole-in-the-wall downtown somewhere cannot attract the number of people at the prices they need them to pay in order to cover the bills, their business folds and there's nothing they can do about it. Maybe you can call on your buddies to front you a few million to make the necessary upgrades to stay competitive as downtown gentrifies, but not everyone can.
