Food and labor costs costs are pretty much kiiling off any low priced non-fast food concepts pretty quickly. Guest won't allow you to raise the prices, so you drop the quality....after you've removed any perks from your employees. Guest complain service and quality have dropped. Stop going. Business closes.

August 14, 20231 yr Most businesses cannot live in a world of pennies like they could even 10 years ago. One reason I shut my stores down is the average price of an item in the store was in the 3 dollar range. People would bring in a giant pile of stuff and there wouldn't be a single thing in there that sold for more than 10 dollars. You can't do that anymore unless you have Dollar in the name and have some unincorporated hamlet by the balls.

A partnership, finalized earlier this year, came about in large part because of Covid. Stephen Williams, the longtime operator of Bouquet, a farm-to-table eatery, said the pandemic pushed him to his limit. In January, he approached Hans Philippo, owner of Lisse, a high-end Dutch-inspired steakhouse and his across-the-street business neighbor in Mainstrasse Village, about potentially working together.

August 28, 20231 yr What was this restaurant at 1355 (even though Google says 1335) Hopple in Camp Washington? @ryanlammiand I grabbed food from Camp Washington Steak and Lemonade today. It was good, but we couldn’t tell what the place had been in its past life. Street View shows it as “Yummy Chinese” in 2007, but it had to have been something before that. Our best guesses were: Hardee’s, KFC, Arthur Treachers Fish and Chips, or Long John Silver’s. But then @ryanlammifound the attached 1993 photo on the County Auditor’s website (and a 2003 record showing the place as a catering company). Other photo is what the floor looks like inside (Burger King Vibes).
August 28, 20231 yr I'm going to go out on a limb and say Hardee's since it lacks the signature architectural elements of period locations of the others. Treacher's had a distinctive feel to them as well and a tiny dining room by modern standards.
