Restaurants just can’t seem to win and this article lends more credence to the fact that this sector is one of the riskiest and most volatile.
I have been talking to restauranteurs who confirm this situation in San Francisco. First dot com startups such as WebVan, OpenTable, RestaurantPro and Instill take away their hourly and salaried workers. Then WebVan goes under, others go under, and the labor situation looks better.
