The restaurant industry has relied for too long on old models. For investors, tying a restaurant to real estate no longer makes sense. For restaurateurs, controls, incentives, and budgeting must be tighter than ever, even though the economy is making attempts to get back on its knees. The reason is simple: with new mandates, increased competition, and more opportunities to exploit outside of the four walls of the restaurant, chef/owners need more flexibility and focus.
