What Concepts will Thrive? – Discussion

The restaurant industry continues to suffer due to the pandemic/post-pandemic impact. Many restaurants/food service operations have had to pivot and adjust their traditional operations to meet the local, state, and federal rules in order to stay open or conduct some type of modified operation. From concerns that there were too many restaurants a couple of years ago to now very dire predictions of how many operations (single to multi-location chains) will close permanently – the US restaurant industry is fighting to survive.
