Per SBA, 75% of all restaurants fail within 2 years. There's a reason why resturantuers get investors and not bank loans. Food costs and labor eats up all the money.

I remember reading an article about a 1 star Michelin chef owner who had to clean her own grease traps because she couldn't afford the $1000 cost.

There's a reason why Subway only gives you 2 napkins. Why McDonald's and Wendy's only give you ketchup if you ask for it.

All of it adds up.

Several of Gordon Ramsey's early restaurants failed.
