If that's the case, we should redistribute some of Chipotle's profits so we can teach mom and pop burrito store owners how to make a website. Right on comrade! TIL small businesses can neither operate a website nor raise prices in response to rising costs.

I just know I can mobile order for Starbucks and Chili's. I can't mobile order for 90%+ of the non-chain local restaurants near me.

I don’t know about 90%, but I can do so at the vast majority of local coffee places & restaurants here. The required technology is cheap and user friendly,

You can order online at almost every restaurant in my town, both corporate and independent. So I find that 90%+ figure you're throwing out to be ridiculous.

Thanks MG, I love how you explained it. Now... is n00b's statement ridiculous or merely inaccurate? (Sorry n00b) Couldn't merv refute it as false without also calling it ridiculous?

This is what I do know. I have never seen so many help wanted signs everywhere. Have you went to a fast food restaurant lately? Often the front doors are closed and they are only doing drive-through due to lack of help. This is a disaster. Do we not care about struggling businesses?
