In Reply to: How many opened in 2019? Net change is probably the more telling number (nt) posted by Steve O on January 20, 2020 at 05:51:14:
but the 'data' were all anecdotal. No sense of the long term trend, so hard to tell if there's actually a shift.
"The trend is more restaurants are closing than are opening and that's historic," said Chris Tavelli from Pause and Yield Wine Bars. "I've never seen that in my ten years in the restaurant business."
Not something one can hang one's hat on -- this is in the same league as a nurse saying that s/he notices more babies being born when the moon is full. :)
I did actually manage to read the article since my prior post (which was pretty short on meat, so to speak). :)
The weird quantum of information in the article, to me, was this:
Restauranteurs said many factors are to blame, like the high cost of operating in San Francisco, high crime rates, dirty streets and long wait times for permits .
[emphasis added]
The implication of permit wait times suggests* there are new restaurants eager to get on-line, but they just can't get the needed permit(s). :p
* Yeah, yeah, I know -- an existing establishment might want a differen kind of permit, but, still... would that drive 'em to close?
all the best,
