I saw a great article on the restaurant business a while back. 2017 marked the first time in U.S. history that Americans spent more money at restaurants than at grocery stores. And yet the restaurant business itself was in tough shape even back then.

I hate to see businesses close, but it seems to me that this country has been highly “over-built” in the restaurant business for years.

Closing restaurants down for several weeks is only one part of the disaster the industry faces. The bigger threat is that a lot of people simply won’t have the discretionary income to patronize restaurants as much as they used to.

People not having discretionary income is a problem, single mothers not having income is even worse.
