>Huh? Are you saying the restaurant can suck more rent from dinners than the landlord from them? It's hard, but many do it. The biggest advantage sit-down has is "addons", primarily booze. Breaking even on the food and making a profit on beer, wine, and cocktails is very common. Cocktails are intended to be drunk at the time of mix, and I have better quality and cheaper wine and beer already at home. No reason to order it with delivery. Also when you're in the restaurant, you can (and are encouraged to) keep ordering more food vs a one time transaction on your phone.
