I read a article pre-covid about a restaurant owner in SF who'd closed her sit-down, full service restaurant and opened a counter-service/takeout restaurant instead. Less staff, less overhead, more customers, and she felt it was a better model for everyone involved.

Even before Covid, the sit down restaurant service with it's hostess and waiters and 3 course menus seemed to be going the way of the movie theater. Who has time, who has energy, and who wouldn't be just as happy getting Doordash and eating in the comfort of their home and probably watching a movie at the same time? Fewer and fewer people it turns out.
