It’s harder for restaurants to drastically reduce overhead because major expenses like rent and utilities tend to be fixed.

- _curious_ 7y agoNo question it's harder - it's not about subjective states like harder vs easier...
- save_ferris 7y agoMost service establishments operate on razor thin margins that sustain only on regular business activity, so being forced to pay the same amount of rent while doing only half of one’s normal business is not typically feasible. I’m not really sure what is subjective about that.
- _curious_ 7y agoThat is assuming they are paying the same amount of rent, which they likely will not be, at least for some period of time. And what's subjective are these concepts like "hard" or "easy" - a lease agreement is definitely an objective instrument by design.
