True, and I'm not using them directly. Though they are packed as well and people going out to eat and willing to wait in line for it can't be financially in trouble, unless they are idiots.
I've known restaurants themselves that were very busy and closed due to poor management (read the employees were robbing the owners blind).
I do know a couple of restaurant owners who were complaining about last month but they both blamed the weather.
