The thing is corporate food cant compete long term. Short term it will devastate everyone, but the barrier to entry in the restaurant is tiny and the margins arent there and never were. Restaurants cant support the 25% delivery app overhead or corporate structure overhead for a long time, sure short term they will because all the competition will get wiped out but in 5-10 years competitors will crop up and deal some significant damage. Unless of-course rent continues to be fucked up high globally... Then no matter how good you are you wont be fight corporate food since real estate is your biggest expense and the other stuff is tiny.
