Dude, you know that you're an extreme outlier right? The restaurant industry as a whole is dying. Places are closing everywhere and there's an innumerable amount of FOH and BOH people unemployed with no jobs available.

Saying that "if you can pivot even a little bit" that you can thrive right now is so disingenuous and out of touch that it's infuriating.

I'm glad your spot is doing well, but there's so many people in this industry that are basically destitute right now with no hope in the future. Fuck, "there's a lot of money to be made in the restaurant business right now"? No, there's a lot of people with no job and a lot of people who's business has closed and a ton of immigrants with no real future. Fuck outta here you got lucky and your peers are suffering.
