Yeah, I hate how COVID changed things so much for the worse. If I was a crazy billionaire, I'd open a good pizza place in SLU or somewhere central with pies that cost $20 for a large, open til 3 am. Maybe aim to lose no more than $5,000 per month. It would not be profitable with the crazy high minimum wage, so I would just accept the loss for providing this benefit to the city.

A Pizza Mart is open until 2am, at least in Belltown but you can only get a medium for around $20.

Or just charge what it costs to not lose money, the demand is there. In cities like this people will travel a significant distance for hot food. And there’s always the delivery apps, too.

  It's a billionaire, the point is to undermine the possibility of a market.

  Then why are there almost no restaurants doing this? I see this in /r/seattle a lot: everyone asking for late night food, then restauranteurs saying there's not enough demand.

The problem isn’t that the demand isn’t there or that the wage costs are too high. The main problems are high real estate costs and local regulations that prevent you from running a 24x7 cafe.
