  if you’re microwaving premade stuff

  Yeesh what restaurants are you going to?

  This really takes away from the rest of your point. The only restaurants I know that do this are of the chain variety.

    A very large number of franchise/chain restaurants are literally just microwaving or reheating pre made ingredients or in some cases entire dishes.

    What restaurants do I go to?

    Oh I’m fucking poor, so none, beyond maybe once a month, a local, non chain, american style diner or mexican place.

    But what most people go to, most often, in the US, is some kind of chain restaurant/fast food place.

      Oh I probably misread your point… you’re trying to say they’ll be ok because that’s all they’re doing + economies of scale, and they can keep costs down.

      Yeah… yeah.

        Yes, you’ve got it now.

        The chains will continue to exist, mostly, even though a lot of ‘underperforming’ locations are gonna get axed.

        Real restaurants? Either gonna have to be actually by basically business savants, which is … extremely uncommon… or maybe have a very substantial amount of local community support… or, they’re basically gonna have to be or become luxury restaurants.
