That’s a good point but I think the corporate sit down restaurants are struggling just bc changing consumer preferences, not necessarily a function of their business model vs small
I think a lot of it has to do with how corporations are incentivized to enshittify themselves once they hit their cap, as that's the only way to keep up the facade of infinite growth. People go to a sit down restaurant expecting something a bit fancier, though, and if it's just some crap that was microwaved in a plastic bag and shoved on a plate anyway, of course people are going to lose interest. At least fast food isn't lying about their quality.
Seems like we've basically shortened the lifespan of a "successful" business to like 20-30 years (only about 5-10 of which are worth going to for the customer), and the "fast casual dining" businesses are now in private equity hospice.
