Well spelling errors will happen it doesn't necessarily mean that the individual's education is off-kilter The random person showing up to point it out is most likely off kilter trying to make themselves feel better about being off-kilter.
Well that's always been the problem with publicly traded companies but frankly even companies that are privately held even if it's held amongst a series of investors it is still a problem it's just not necessarily as rampant. Of course you could have all the customer service in the world that you want but if the price is still too high it's just too high no amount of service makes up for a stupidly high price.
What do you consider a long time? And your right it will still be here but drastically different the gap between the have and have nots will grow and grow until a hunger games type scenario im not saying districts but the wealthy living normal lives while the non wealthy will be struggling will have to learn to live off the land again which i suppose isnt a bad thing just i dont personally know alot of people who know how to do that@@rightsdontcomewithpermits7073
Yeah but look at the majority of the cars around there and look at the people in those cars That's not poor people I can guarantee you that so basically what's being fucking realized at this point is what some of us knew all along and that was the biggest consumer of those foods aren't really poor people because four people don't really have the money it's actually the superficial know nothing jackass is within the middle class that is the biggest consumer a fast food, that's always pointing the finger at the poor person to cover up the fact that they waste money on garbage they're always deflecting from their own backyard.
I used to like Wendy’s and Burger Fi but the last time I went to both, I tried a new option and my blood pressure shot up. At Wendy’s it was breakfast sandwich. At burger fi, it was chicken wings. I stopped going to both. These restaurants have to stop it with all of these food additives and preservatives. I’m talking about all of the restaurants. After feeling ill at so many different restaurants because things like msg, I found it easier to just cook my own food.
Well yeah I will say that there is that issue but unfortunately corporate America has a lot of folks particularly that of the middle class brainwashed into believing it The pay is adequate in everyone's a lazy dick. This is basically how they get away with it The only thing is is I would say they are losing that bad simply because as they continuously drive wages down which oh I've seen a massive decrease in wages My profession which was that of retail management I can certainly say we don't make money anymore this is basically why people on the young end of life as well as the older ones that's been there for a while they don't want management jobs anymore I myself probably fall it somewhere in the middle I'm 39. Is it possible to still collect 55,000 a year Yes it is but when you average out all the hours you're going to have to work because they want you to live there then it comes out that you're not really making 50 grand a year what you're getting is basically $11 and something an hour and you're putting in stupid amounts of hours to equal 50 grand or more. So it's technically not really worth it some places may have a bit of less hours like it would be possible to only do 40 to 45 hours but you're also going to get somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 to maybe 40,000 a year so basically you could be a manager of a gas station and get maybe 38 to $40,000 on the high end. I mean this is it I mean a lot of jobs I've seen go from you know 50 grand a year all the sudden they're now down to 32,000 a year it's fucking crazy but this is whats going on and of course a lot of other jobs are basically the same way even if they pretend to throw you another dollar on the hour they basically slice your hours so you're no further ahead they just threw you the raise as an enticement to stick around. Of course I'm not certain there's very many employers that's really honestly trying to entice people to stay most of these joints it's basically a countdown to when you get fired and it's usually over petty horse shit it's like they all take bets on how long you're going to last and of course they're 7 to 10 preferred employees well most likely be the ruination of you.

Hi, My friends. This whole situation is caused by government taxation and regulation. Local governments continue to raise property taxes on landlord which forces rent increases on restaurants. A real economic collapse is coming to America in 2025 after the election. I hope my fellow US citizens vote carefully in their local, state and federal elections. We need real change in America.
Meh, not really I mean they do have a lot of taxes to pay yes however go look at all of the handouts and freebies in the form of tax credits right offset etc that they get. And as far as property taxes go well that's a bullshit battle cry most of the time simply because those are on a schedule of 3:00 to 5 years they don't go up every year.
Don't forget all the easy money, money printing, and low interest rates (which are inflationary). When the cost of living has increased by several-hundred %-age points while at the same time your purchasing power is continuously being eroded, of course the majority of mom and pop shops are gonna have some trouble. If everybody could make a decent living, there wouldn't be enough $Billionaires.
CEO and executive salaries in America are crazy causing restaurants and companies to shut down can’t sustain themselves Starbucks CEO 50 million a year seriously absurd
In 'N Out Burger had better be on this list. I went there once and thought, 'there is absolutely no reason there should be a line wrapped around the building for this burger. There is nothing special about this burger. People have such low standards.
Yeah I will say that a lot of these joints have been the same forever in the day and with that you know the longer you exist as a business well the more people have eaten your products over and over again eventually people get tired of the taste and then when you go and cheapen the taste you go and change flavors and fuck shit up that pisses them off even more and then you go and add price hikes to it well you're just begging to go under That's basically the problem with most of the corporate restaurant environments. I mean by now who hasn't had Wendy's probably seven times over now some of the other chains that are mentioned here I could see that they're not necessarily everybody's flavor and that's simply because a lot of those are high priced they've always been high priced it's like for instance five guys some people rave about five guys but when I looked into their prices they can stuff it up their ass. So I've never actually had a five guys burger even though we've had one in my town for going on 6 years. As far as quality goes well yeah I can say that there is a bit of a quality issue across the board it's not really consistent like it used to be either your sandwich will be put together very sloppily and end up all whopper jawed The biggest problems that I myself have been bitching about for like 17 years is the fact the fucking cheese is never melted anymore so a lot of the times the food is lukewarm at best meaning I have to go home and do the other half of their job by microwaving it it's not worth the price. For years I had said that everything at Wendy's is cold and wet and there for a while it really was every damn time I would get a burger it was practically ice cold and it really was damp it's like they just took the buns out of the refrigerator or something or perhaps they thawed and nobody bothered to dab them with a paper towel or anything or they never bothered to throw them under a warmer for a minute Of course the Wendy's in my town which I live in Central Ohio it's like they've had off and on again supply issues you show up at the drive-thru and they're talking about how okay so we can't give you this this or this sometimes there's an entire laundry list of shit that they cannot sell you because they claim to be out of it and then other times they're fucking computers are always down so they're cash only which I'm not against cash but there are times where all I do have is my card and so I have to drive to the next one if I want the flavors of Wendy's luckily they're not very far apart so it's not like I have to drive 20 miles. Of course that's another thing I think market saturation for many of these brands is another problem. And a subway had a big issue with that several years ago where the franchise holders would everywhere they could they would stick up a fucking subway and they were basically putting them on top of each other and so a lot of franchise holders even in my town ended up closing a bunch of them just to space them out but I can say that you know what even Wendy's has that trouble in some areas My town not so much they've always been pretty decently spaced but I know that if you head towards Columbus Ohio they can be rather close in some cases.
Ruth Chris only have like 2 or 3 restaurants in a city and/or state. To close 23 locations means they gone out of business. $75 for a Ribeye steak with no sides plus TIP is crazy work. Buy a family pack for $30
The meals have become so small and poorly made that they are just no longer worth the money. I still eat out but with a pre-realized knowledge that it will most likely not be as good as I am hoping when I order.
The only thing famous about Denny's are the epic fights and murders committed there........White Castle sucks so bad and KFC has gotten rid of all of it's decent sides.........
I’m so happy your channel came back up in my suggested feeds and that you have the narrator on screen. I always wondered what the voice looked like. Excellent material coverage as always. Please keep him, the soundtrack, and information coming together!!!❤❤❤
I miss our Denny's. It was unfortunately in a lousy location. Had it been near the Barnes and Noble, I think it would have done better. Our KFC has scrawny chicken pieces and very few side choices so I don't bother going there any more. They can't compete with the Tops grocery store fried chicken which tastes as good as KFC used to and is a lot cheaper. Our other grocery store Wegmans makes subs even better than Subway's for half the price.
I'm not going to miss any of these. The larger chains could have sacrificed profits for a couple years instead of raising prices and cutting employees. I'm not spending $20 on a fast food meal.
And I can't believe how many ignorant, indoctrinated voters are out there to vote for Harris that has been the part of the problem and sure as all get out not the solution
During and after WW2 through out the mid 1950's we ate in old bus cafes, shack type buildings, and in some places from street vendors. Every place these days have to be too expensive and fancy signs. People will have to living like we did in the old days of 10 cent hot dogs and 19 cent hamburgers.
I just saw a Jimmy John’s shut down recently by my local Fed ex. I was just there about a month or so ago. They took the sign down and everything. I’m also seeing a lot of McDonald’s disappearing in my area as well. It’s a grim sign of things to come.
Wendy's SHOULD be closed down across the board. Damn near everything on their menu is loaded up with disgusting cheese. As for Dunkin', they were stupid to basically eliminate donuts.
McDonald's and KFC cost as much as a sit-down restaurant, and the workers tend to be incompetent. In addition, just about every restaurant I go to is understaffed. It makes more sense to eat at home.
Dunkin donuts is making a fortune overseas and Subway.. if you want to enjoy American chains restaurants in ice cream parlors you're going to have to leave America America is a third world country. You don't have these kind of chains in America who have them in first world countries
Many of these are closing locations and opening in other locations. If we don't look at how many are being opened, then we get a false sense of the businesses. They morph all over the place, unless they file for Chapter 11 or 13. No tears shed here for most of these. We are so overbuilt with awful food places and terrible service, that one city looks like another with fast food businesses filling the landscape.

how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking?
I would love to eat at restaurants like I used to, but it is so expensive! I only do it as a rare treat nowadays. Eating at home is the more cost effective choice right now.
from the fields to the consumers, you need energy! Energy to produce and transport! Energy to turn the lights on! Energy enabling customers to come to the locations! Entry-level jobs now have exorbitant wages! Think about this if you haven’t voted yet and tomorrow’s presidential elections! The regime in Washington DC, and their swamp creature acolytes are burying our economy!
Rubios downsized too. They close many locations in California. Dickies BBQ was across the street from me. They came about a year before 2020 and left about a year after. They never got off the ground and was always slow...I live by 50+ restaurants by a mall area so competition is very high
I hate to differ, but here in Vegas Restaurants and Fast Food are thriving. But then again, Vegas isn’t exactly your ordinary City. BTW…. I absolutely LOVE this NARRATOR ✌🏻
Good video and these days it's getting very scary and uncertain now. Used to deal with the before the pandemic hit and after the bad news just kept coming really didn't recover thought it was but NO.
The boomers are senior citizens. Of course every strata of business is feeling the effects of their loss and the modification of their spending habits. Boomers are dead, disabled and downsizing. The market place should have prepared for this.
With such dismal restaurant closure problems around the country the Fed said the US economy is doing well also with deceased inflation. Is he speaking the truth ??
they got too greedy if they would've lowered their prices to $ 3.50 a meal instead of $ 32.00 dollars a meal they needed to start over but nobody's listening
*I feel like the more l learn about country's low income, the more my anger grows,"imagine investing $1,500 and receiving $9,300 profits in 5 days, 😇 Thanks you for the lady you recommended here sometime ago is the best 🇺🇲*
Wow! Nice meeting people who also work with Peggy dawsons , she's the only one I trust, she got me proflts of 11,OOO with a little start up of 2,5OO and ever since she's been good
I think Ms Peggy’s strategy is the best at the moment, I recommend it for beginners because it is perfect for now and it is known so you don't lose your money.Ok
Most restaurants use packaged ultraprocessed foods and toxic seed oils, emulsifiers, and additives. That's why I don't it out. It's about my health - not the financial cost!
If Wendy's in the US is the same as in the UK the best thing it can do is go out of business. Food is meh, not that cheap and service is terrible, I went there for the first and last time a couple of months ago.
Well believe it or not it doesn't have anything to do with the proverbial $20 an hour that California is forcing these people to pay. Just like everywhere else it doesn't have anything to do with the proverbial $15 an hour .. So the reason why is because of the hours a lot to each worker fast food for pretty much the past 15 years it's been pretty standard that the common peon is going to get somewhere between 13 and 16 hours and they're going to top out it pretty much 20 hours a shift manager might be able to see 32 hours on occasion but they are commonly cut off at 28 hours so back when you could go to McDonald's and get yourself 40 hours a week the rate of pay was 5 to $7 depending upon the exact year and or general time frame. Basically once they got over that hump of about 6:40 an hour McDonald's quit paying $850 an hour then they stuck directly to whatever minimum wage was see at one time in the early 2000s McDonald's was begging for people and they talked about $8.50 an hour and that was back when you could still get 40 hours a week so nowadays you're talking about hardly 13 to 16 hours a week at a proverbial somewhere between 15 or if you're in California $20 an hour sorry you don't get to blame labor try again.
Did you deliberately leave out the effects of the ACA requirements on businesses with ovet 50 employees???? Or was it oversight on your part? Because the ACA had no impact on the “labor force” and their hours, right???
No I didn't purposely leave anything out however that requirement doesn't actually cost the company any money contrary to popular belief basically they're more so just inclined to tell you about insurance they don't actually buy it and give it to you dumbass! Basically it's what employers have always done Even small businesses would offer health insurance they just generally didn't promote it because it would be extremely expensive I know this when I was a lawn mower mechanic out of high school in the early 2000s I had asked the small business owner hey do you have insurance and she said yeah we can get it but it's going to be stupidly high like 40 bucks a week. So then I said fuck that I'll pay the doctor out of my pocket which is what I did and oh by the way it was cheaper. After I closed my businesses down and went to work in corporate management everywhere I have been they talk about how they have health insurance available and then you talk to them via HR and basically what they're doing is they're just sending you to the Obamacare website for shitty fucking policies with $9,000 deductibles That's how they meet that minimum requirement The other requirements it's basically optional as long as they meet the minimum they don't really have to do anymore so there is technically nothing above minimum. Basically the whole thing was a grift it was to make stupid people think that the government is actually forcing employers to provide you with something employers complained played along and now they offer less than they ever did because they pretty much route you over to the government website. Some employers still actually do offer separate plans that is not the government website however those plans have to be in compliance with the ACA and there's plans there again come with usually high deductibles and or large copays either way you're fucked and that was exactly what it was designed to do it was in the favor of the insurance industry not necessarily you. Yes it's true that it is yet more paperwork that the business has to shuffle and I suppose if they're a larger company they may have an extra person that they've since hired oh no it cost them a little more in wages. of course they usually don't pay those people shit and or most of the time no they really didn't put in an expansion this is why people within offices and also the HR department bitch continuously they're doing the work of six people so really what they did is they just piled it on to what these people already do. So no I didn't leave anything out I just happened to know how it works and I happen to know that no it doesn't really cost your employer anything to tell you about the insurance and then direct you to buy it from the government if they already have an insurance company established then that insurance company puts forth offerings that are in compliance with the government regulations and then you decide whether or not you want to buy it so no it doesn't actually really add anything they're not buying it for you they're not actually forced to pay for your insurance contrary to popular idiotic belief! I'm someone who has went years without insurance as a result I made too much money for Medicaid and I can't afford Obamacare or any of the subsequent policies so I just go without insurance!
poor Wendy's. I went to dickey's last year. the meat tasted terrible highly salted and processed. Kentucky fried chicken maybe cause people are not eating fried food too much. I always chose roasted over fried.
Their is nothing dumer than chain restourants,they are poorly desinged,and they serve dangerous unhealthy food.And the worst thing is,that nobody didn't put real effort to make few beautiful,and big restourants.Becouse if they did build big and beautiful restourants,then now they would be more successful,and admired.And it seams,that greedy people incharge of detaisteful chain restourants,has never learn.That quality beats quantity.And we want to visit restourants with quality,that provides food with aceptable prices,and memorable experience.
This video is stretching pretty far to sensationalize the data for clicks. Restaurant visits down 5%? So what? 40 bars close in New York? How many thousands are there in total? 40 doesn’t sound like that much. Keep fearmongering for views.
Many of these restaurants don't advertise. (Advertise by the real definition, selling multiplied by a medium...cute pictures, clever quotes, puns and cliques is NOT advertising) Hard to run a successful business when you don't market and advertise your business and/or do it effectively.
Most of these companies all have the same problems, bad leadership that focused on short sighted gains durning good times instead of investing into a strong future. Most of corporate America has the same problem. CEOs are graded on short sighted gains, not long term growth or even survival.
I beleave due to inflation, wages had to go up just to try to brake even at home. But so has the cost to even run these shops. From the paper bags to the napkins all prices have gone. Energy and the gut stabing taxes just sealed their coffins. Maybe after Trump gets back in he can STOP or at least slow dowm this failing economy. It all goes back to the cost of energy.
Eating out is a complete waist of money & health . People are getting smarter .

Eat organic. Eat local. Get your organic, unadulterated Omega 6.
Apparently so was your education. The word is waste!!
Well spelling errors will happen it doesn't necessarily mean that the individual's education is off-kilter The random person showing up to point it out is most likely off kilter trying to make themselves feel better about being off-kilter.
When a trip to these restaurants for a family costs the same for almost a week's worth of groceries, it's no wonder they're going bust.
There comes a time when a company stops trying to please its customers in favour of raising its stock price through any means required.
Well that's always been the problem with publicly traded companies but frankly even companies that are privately held even if it's held amongst a series of investors it is still a problem it's just not necessarily as rampant.
Of course you could have all the customer service in the world that you want but if the price is still too high it's just too high no amount of service makes up for a stupidly high price.

Yeah I will say that a lot of these joints have been the same forever in the day and with that you know the longer you exist as a business well the more people have eaten your products over and over again eventually people get tired of the taste and then when you go and cheapen the taste you go and change flavors and fuck shit up that pisses them off even more and then you go and add price hikes to it well you're just begging to go under That's basically the problem with most of the corporate restaurant environments.
I mean by now who hasn't had Wendy's probably seven times over now some of the other chains that are mentioned here I could see that they're not necessarily everybody's flavor and that's simply because a lot of those are high priced they've always been high priced it's like for instance five guys some people rave about five guys but when I looked into their prices they can stuff it up their ass.
So I've never actually had a five guys burger even though we've had one in my town for going on 6 years.
As far as quality goes well yeah I can say that there is a bit of a quality issue across the board it's not really consistent like it used to be either your sandwich will be put together very sloppily and end up all whopper jawed The biggest problems that I myself have been bitching about for like 17 years is the fact the fucking cheese is never melted anymore so a lot of the times the food is lukewarm at best meaning I have to go home and do the other half of their job by microwaving it it's not worth the price.
For years I had said that everything at Wendy's is cold and wet and there for a while it really was every damn time I would get a burger it was practically ice cold and it really was damp it's like they just took the buns out of the refrigerator or something or perhaps they thawed and nobody bothered to dab them with a paper towel or anything or they never bothered to throw them under a warmer for a minute
Of course the Wendy's in my town which I live in Central Ohio it's like they've had off and on again supply issues you show up at the drive-thru and they're talking about how okay so we can't give you this this or this sometimes there's an entire laundry list of shit that they cannot sell you because they claim to be out of it and then other times they're fucking computers are always down so they're cash only which I'm not against cash but there are times where all I do have is my card and so I have to drive to the next one if I want the flavors of Wendy's luckily they're not very far apart so it's not like I have to drive 20 miles.
Of course that's another thing I think market saturation for many of these brands is another problem.
And a subway had a big issue with that several years ago where the franchise holders would everywhere they could they would stick up a fucking subway and they were basically putting them on top of each other and so a lot of franchise holders even in my town ended up closing a bunch of them just to space them out but I can say that you know what even Wendy's has that trouble in some areas My town not so much they've always been pretty decently spaced but I know that if you head towards Columbus Ohio they can be rather close in some cases.
He left out Red Lobster, TGI Fridays, and Friendly's.
Before Covid, I been saying people better start cooking they own food at the house! Start ordering your pots now!
People are making their own sandwiches and cook generally at home. Not a bad thing.
Ruth Chris only have like 2 or 3 restaurants in a city and/or state. To close 23 locations means they gone out of business.

I can see why they are all closing with all that dust flying around in their stores
In the future people may say " we were lucky to have removed all these unhealthy places that encourage us to keep up bad eating habits '.
It called FREEDOM. People can eat where and what they want.
Eating is a luxury when you grow nothing for your self and your dollar is garbage.
Hey Epic!! Thank you again for the latest recon in food dining venues! This episode was shocking!
Never heard of about 95% of these stores
Sounds like most of these are back east and down south.
Norm, really? 95% ? Where do you live ? Siberia?

The meals have become so small and poorly made that they are just no longer worth the money. I still eat out but with a pre-realized knowledge that it will most likely not be as good as I am hoping when I order.
Moor ppl are choosing to eat healthy … and are choosing not to eat poison
The only thing famous about Denny's are the epic fights and murders committed there........White Castle sucks so bad and KFC has gotten rid of all of it's decent sides.........
I’m so happy your channel came back up in my suggested feeds and that you have the narrator on screen. I always wondered what the voice looked like. Excellent material coverage as always. Please keep him, the soundtrack, and information coming together!!!❤❤❤
Too expensive, crappy help, it’s no wonder these places are vanishing!
I miss our Denny's. It was unfortunately in a lousy location. Had it been near the Barnes and Noble, I think it would have done better. Our KFC has scrawny chicken pieces and very few side choices so I don't bother going there any more. They can't compete with the Tops grocery store fried chicken which tastes as good as KFC used to and is a lot cheaper. Our other grocery store Wegmans makes subs even better than Subway's for half the price.
I'm not going to miss any of these. The larger chains could have sacrificed profits for a couple years instead of raising prices and cutting employees. I'm not spending $20 on a fast food meal.
Smart entrepreneurs should open a weed shop next door to White Castle
BRILLIANT
A Caramel Corn shop on the same street wouldn’t be able to keep up with demand.
Bidenomics is working out real good.
yep going according to plan
And I can't believe how many ignorant, indoctrinated voters are out there to vote for Harris that has been the part of the problem and sure as all get out not the solution
And people really don't know who this country need right now.?
Jesus!
Love White Castle. I don't believe they don't have enough business. I alone ate 10 at a clip.
I am convinced that KFC 🍗 is not real chicken meat
That’s why they changed the name from Kentucky fried chicken to KFC , that ain’t chicken!!!
During and after WW2 through out the mid 1950's we ate in old bus cafes, shack type buildings, and in some places from street vendors. Every place these days have to be too expensive and fancy signs. People will have to living like we did in the old days of 10 cent hot dogs and 19 cent hamburgers.
I just saw a Jimmy John’s shut down recently by my local Fed ex. I was just there about a month or so ago. They took the sign down and everything. I’m also seeing a lot of McDonald’s disappearing in my area as well. It’s a grim sign of things to come.
Wendy's SHOULD be closed down across the board. Damn near everything on their menu is loaded up with disgusting cheese. As for Dunkin', they were stupid to basically eliminate donuts.
Well Authored. Well Presented.
That would be a lot of jobs gone , which can end up with people having to get evicted or struggle to make ends meet
McDonald's and KFC cost as much as a sit-down restaurant, and the workers tend to be incompetent. In addition, just about every restaurant I go to is understaffed. It makes more sense to eat at home.
Dickey's food has always been bad IMHO, long before the pandemic. I am sure raising your prices is not helping either.
Hold on to your seashells. The restaurant wars has started.
Didn't Taco Bell win that?
@user-cz8do7xl8u yep
Dunkin donuts is making a fortune overseas and Subway.. if you want to enjoy American chains restaurants in ice cream parlors you're going to have to leave America America is a third world country. You don't have these kind of chains in America who have them in first world countries
I live in SE Asia. So many US chains here. Lots that you cannot find in the US. Thanks to the Diddlercrats policies the US has hit 3rd world status
Many of these are closing locations and opening in other locations. If we don't look at how many are being opened, then we get a false sense of the businesses. They morph all over the place, unless they file for Chapter 11 or 13. No tears shed here for most of these. We are so overbuilt with awful food places and terrible service, that one city looks like another with fast food businesses filling the landscape.
Why wasn't any debt loads mentioned? Most of these nasty "restaurants" went onto massive debt to buy back their stocks, which use to be illegal.

I would love to eat at restaurants like I used to, but it is so expensive! I only do it as a rare treat nowadays. Eating at home is the more cost effective choice right now.
Concerts are expensie and yet people spend money on idiocy as well.
from the fields to the consumers, you need energy! Energy to produce and transport! Energy to turn the lights on! Energy enabling customers to come to the locations!

Prior to pandemic we’d go out weekly now it’s once a month maybe…cost of living
Rubios downsized too. They close many locations in California.
Dickies BBQ was across the street from me. They came about a year before 2020 and left about a year after. They never got off the ground and was always slow...I live by 50+ restaurants by a mall area so competition is very high
I’ve watched you for a few years and it’s ALWAYS the: we are the verge of collapse.
They've already closed 4 of my favorites, Dickeys had the best brisket for miles, that hurts
When you can’t pay for your needs, the wants are cut out altogether. Eating out is a luxury and it’s insanely expensive now.
it will stabilize once automation is installed. Cut labor cost more profitable. smart choice
Yeap. Them rich folks need another bail out.
I admit I don't go to restaurants anymore (unless you count Starbucks and Chick-fil-A).
I hate to differ, but here in Vegas Restaurants and Fast Food are thriving. But then again, Vegas isn’t exactly your ordinary City. BTW…. I absolutely LOVE this NARRATOR ✌🏻
And how is that bad news?
Just facts
Good video and these days it's getting very scary and uncertain now. Used to deal with the before the pandemic hit and after the bad news just kept coming really didn't recover thought it was but NO.
The suppliers can keep their excessive products if they don't reduce the price. This includes the landlord. The commercial space will be more empty.
The expense of the grab or uber ride to go to the restaurant is also killing the restaurants.

The boomers are senior citizens. Of course every strata of business is feeling the effects of their loss and the modification of their spending habits. Boomers are dead, disabled and downsizing. The market place should have prepared for this.
Yes!
Because, for the first time in history, old people are dying, downsizing, and disabled!!
Genius!!!
Now I'm going to have to change my wardrobe!
With such dismal restaurant closure problems around the country the Fed said the US economy is doing well also with deceased inflation. Is he speaking the truth ??
No great loss. Is any one else tired of theses low-effort A.I. generated "content".

they got too greedy if they would've lowered their prices to $ 3.50 a meal instead of $ 32.00 dollars a meal they needed to start over but nobody's listening
There were (are) way too many fast food restaurants. Close half of them and the others will have enough customers.

Wow! Nice meeting people who also work with Peggy dawsons , she's the only one I trust, she got me proflts of 11,OOO with a little start up of 2,5OO and ever since she's been good
Same here though l started with as Low as $1,000 actually because it was my first time and it was successful she's a great personality in the state
A colleague also testified about how awesome this Ms Peggy is and how she helped her getting started as a beginner into the lnvestlng world...
Please? How Do I Contact Her??
I think Ms Peggy’s strategy is the best at the moment, I recommend it for beginners because it is perfect for now and it is known so you don't lose your money.Ok
I find myself talking exactly like this guy.
Ahhhhhh can’t afford it anyway tho, those prices are just too cray cray
Most restaurants use packaged ultraprocessed foods and toxic seed oils, emulsifiers, and additives. That's why I don't it out. It's about my health - not the financial cost!
If Wendy's in the US is the same as in the UK the best thing it can do is go out of business. Food is meh, not that cheap and service is terrible, I went there for the first and last time a couple of months ago.
Good video, but please get rid of those annoying white specks floating across the screen.
Well believe it or not it doesn't have anything to do with the proverbial $20 an hour that California is forcing these people to pay.
Just like everywhere else it doesn't have anything to do with the proverbial $15 an hour ..
So the reason why is because of the hours a lot to each worker fast food for pretty much the past 15 years it's been pretty standard that the common peon is going to get somewhere between 13 and 16 hours and they're going to top out it pretty much 20 hours a shift manager might be able to see 32 hours on occasion but they are commonly cut off at 28 hours so back when you could go to McDonald's and get yourself 40 hours a week the rate of pay was 5 to $7 depending upon the exact year and or general time frame.
Basically once they got over that hump of about 6:40 an hour McDonald's quit paying $850 an hour then they stuck directly to whatever minimum wage was see at one time in the early 2000s McDonald's was begging for people and they talked about $8.50 an hour and that was back when you could still get 40 hours a week so nowadays you're talking about hardly 13 to 16 hours a week at a proverbial somewhere between 15 or if you're in California $20 an hour sorry you don't get to blame labor try again.
Did you deliberately leave out the effects of the ACA requirements on businesses with ovet 50 employees????
Or was it oversight on your part?
Because the ACA had no impact on the “labor force” and their hours, right???
No I didn't purposely leave anything out however that requirement doesn't actually cost the company any money contrary to popular belief basically they're more so just inclined to tell you about insurance they don't actually buy it and give it to you dumbass!
Basically it's what employers have always done Even small businesses would offer health insurance they just generally didn't promote it because it would be extremely expensive I know this when I was a lawn mower mechanic out of high school in the early 2000s I had asked the small business owner hey do you have insurance and she said yeah we can get it but it's going to be stupidly high like 40 bucks a week.
So then I said fuck that I'll pay the doctor out of my pocket which is what I did and oh by the way it was cheaper.
After I closed my businesses down and went to work in corporate management everywhere I have been they talk about how they have health insurance available and then you talk to them via HR and basically what they're doing is they're just sending you to the Obamacare website for shitty fucking policies with $9,000 deductibles That's how they meet that minimum requirement The other requirements it's basically optional as long as they meet the minimum they don't really have to do anymore so there is technically nothing above minimum.
Basically the whole thing was a grift it was to make stupid people think that the government is actually forcing employers to provide you with something employers complained played along and now they offer less than they ever did because they pretty much route you over to the government website.
Some employers still actually do offer separate plans that is not the government website however those plans have to be in compliance with the ACA and there's plans there again come with usually high deductibles and or large copays either way you're fucked and that was exactly what it was designed to do it was in the favor of the insurance industry not necessarily you.
Yes it's true that it is yet more paperwork that the business has to shuffle and I suppose if they're a larger company they may have an extra person that they've since hired oh no it cost them a little more in wages.
of course they usually don't pay those people shit and or most of the time no they really didn't put in an expansion this is why people within offices and also the HR department bitch continuously they're doing the work of six people so really what they did is they just piled it on to what these people already do.
So no I didn't leave anything out I just happened to know how it works and I happen to know that no it doesn't really cost your employer anything to tell you about the insurance and then direct you to buy it from the government if they already have an insurance company established then that insurance company puts forth offerings that are in compliance with the government regulations and then you decide whether or not you want to buy it so no it doesn't actually really add anything they're not buying it for you they're not actually forced to pay for your insurance contrary to popular idiotic belief!
I'm someone who has went years without insurance as a result I made too much money for Medicaid and I can't afford Obamacare or any of the subsequent policies so I just go without insurance!
Just facts
Shake Shack is doing fine, infact they are growing there locations
Where?
Never ate there
poor Wendy's. I went to dickey's last year. the meat tasted terrible highly salted and processed. Kentucky fried chicken maybe cause people are not eating fried food too much. I always chose roasted over fried.
Their is nothing dumer than chain restourants,they are poorly desinged,and they serve dangerous unhealthy food.And the worst thing is,that nobody didn't put real effort to make few beautiful,and big restourants.Becouse if they did build big and beautiful restourants,then now they would be more successful,and admired.And it seams,that greedy people incharge of detaisteful chain restourants,has never learn.That quality beats quantity.And we want to visit restourants with quality,that provides food with aceptable prices,and memorable experience.
Plain chicken and hamburgers will be the only ones left 😢😢😢
Can’t find good cooks
KFC is so expensive now it's pretty much a luxury to get now. Close to 50 bucks for a family meal. No thanks, ill just cook at home. Shake n bake!!
This video is stretching pretty far to sensationalize the data for clicks. Restaurant visits down 5%? So what? 40 bars close in New York? How many thousands are there in total? 40 doesn’t sound like that much. Keep fearmongering for views.
It all starts at the top. He who causes the inflation.
Many of these restaurants don't advertise. (Advertise by the real definition, selling multiplied by a medium...cute pictures, clever quotes, puns and cliques is NOT advertising)
Hard to run a successful business when you don't market and advertise your business and/or do it effectively.
KFC could close ours cuz I shouldn't have come back here in the first place they've been here three times it doesn't work
What the heck are you talking about. The fed says the economy is going grand, employment is improving, and it will be even rosier in '25. 😂😅😂😂😂
TO BE HONEST...we stopped eating at these places because its the unhealthiest shit on the planet....i hope they go under..
Most of these companies all have the same problems, bad leadership that focused on short sighted gains durning good times instead of investing into a strong future. Most of corporate America has the same problem. CEOs are graded on short sighted gains, not long term growth or even survival.
Collapse may have just been paused.
I beleave due to inflation, wages had to go up just to try to brake even at home. But so has the cost to even run these shops. From the paper bags to the napkins all prices have gone. Energy and the gut stabing taxes just sealed their coffins. Maybe after Trump gets back in he can STOP or at least slow dowm this failing economy. It all goes back to the cost of energy.
