Unpopular opinion: unless we’re talking about fine dining, I don’t think restaurants are any harder than normal business. Statistics are bad because a disproportionate percentage of people are drawn to doing it.https://twitter.com/devonzuegel/status/1035723101785403392 …

I think the margins are terrible, way worse than tech that's for sure.

Everything has tradeoffs. I’d guess a successful tech startup is 10-100x harder to achieve than a successful small restaurant.

Hmm I feel like the odds are the same but the upside is way better with tech since marginal cost of adding users is low to zero unlike food. I have seen busy and popular restaurants go out of biz.

I’d bet that popular restaurants outside of extreme cost places like NYC/SF go out of business due to having too much space (high fixed costs) and/or too many things on the menu (inventory/spoilage). Small, popular restaurants w/limited menus don’t go under.
