Is fast food dead?

A Turkish restaurant and a curry house on my street have both opened and closed within about 12 months.

They just never had many customers.

Don’t have it delivered at all.Always better getting it home as quick as possible I ‘d also say though even taking a decent fish and chips home to eat isn’t great, tends to start going soggy, tastes much better eaten outdoors straight away,preferably on a sea front..

The price you pay now for a takeaway can feed me and the Mrs for nearly a week. And that's healthy meals as well.

Most of them, the quality doesn't match the price.

At these increasing price rates they'll nearly all be gone in a few years.

Only the big franchises will survive like McDonald's.

The problem with the majority of fast food joints is the delivery services. The footprint of the 'restaurant' was designed around customers going in to purchase their food, and either sit in, or take away. And even though they've modified the serving area in some places, the kitchens simply do not have the peak time capacity to deal with the home delivery customers on top of walk-ins.

A lot are just industrial units on trading estates with a food hygene certificate and parking for 6 scooters.
 
is it true that cats taste like chicken, asking for a friend
 
Bought a mixed Gyros from Souvlaki.

It is a franchise chain. 6 stores.

But the food is fucking superb.

A mixed Gyros is £9.80, to collect.

Delivery is just under £14.

For those of you living close to Didsbury, try it.

It isn’t all profit though all cooked food outlets have seen their enegy and ingredient prices rocket in the last 18 months. I’ve been lucky as my energy prices were fixed for 5 years just before the big increases I’ve seen others go from £3000 ish to over £6000.Some ingredients have also more than doubled.

Yet surrounding restaurants/takeaways HAVE put prices up since various "crises" , but nowhere near to this extent.. If its still trading this time next year, I'll show my arse on Buttermarket St. (where its based)
 
Recently - family film night, nice grub and we all needed some pud. I was so fucking knackered I just couldn't face walking round the corner to the coop. So I got deliveroo to bike over some maltesers, aero bites and large cadburys buttons! Decadence

People should buy some artisanal bread and craftsman cheese, maybe a small bottle of red and decant it in the universally renowned cultural exchange that is piccadilly gardens :)

Last time I tried drinking a glass.of red in Piccadilly gardens a bloody wasp flew into the bastard. Luckily I spotted it before drinking it. Being a kindly chap these days I carefully tipped it in a safe place and left it to get pissed.
