Some businesses changed their model post covid. My oldest daughter owns a long established restaurant that previously was opened lunch/dinner, 7 days/week, every day but Christmas and New Years. COVID caused them to re evaluate their priorities. They were killing themselves working all the time. They now are only open for dinner, 6 days per week and close to take time off occasionally. They won't go back to the old schedule having figured out their gross is down but their net hasn't fallen that much. The other issue is that downtown is a ghost town now. The workers who used to fill offices all day are gone. Lunch service would make no sense. They still can't hire enough workers though and are a bit puzzled by it all. The changes caused by remote work and the economy shifting to on line shopping, etc. are not settled and won't be for a while.
