>"Anecdotal. Seeing restaurants that no longer do sit down and only do delivery, plus the creation of the ghost kitchen market. I also have no data, so I can't really defend this point. Just an observation."
Can you say what city you are seeing restaurants that don't do sit down and only do delivery? Are these brand new restaurants? I can't imagine anyone that was already paying rent for a dining room turning people away. I also find it hard to imagine that a delivery only restaurant would be operating in a place that has good foot traffic as that is usually factored in to the rent since it means access to walk-in customers.
Lastly has the "ghost kitchen" market actually taken off? What brand recognition is there in that market?
