It seems you took my comment very personally, which I can understand. To be honest, as I made this comment I considered one I'd read from wasoxygen earlier this week, which stated that any time there is a question in an article title, it can be answered with "No." I felt that way about this article. I don't think this article is without its merits, and I understand how local restaurants create a community. I consider myself part of such a community! I don't feel the need to defend my comments any further, and it does seem to me that your comment is one intended to incite a defense. I wish you and your enterprises well, and am sure we'll run across each other on Hubski again, with no ill will!
Haha. I don't think you should ever feel like you need to defend your comments to me. I'm don't bother too on Hubski anymore. I really don't understand how your answer is "no," unless you just hate headline construction gimmicks. Certainly no I'll will, live your life. This shit is horrible and it's going to leave our world poorer and more at the mercy of cooperate shit on billion levels, including food.
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.
