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.
