    A handful of restaurants which definitely can’t afford the amount of people working there and the interior. They always operate the same way: the food doesn’t taste good, expensive interior and (many) more personnel than customers.

    Unless they all have a philanthropist millionaire as a sponsor, I suspect they launder money. Apparently this is quite common in Germany because hard cash is still common here. Even large sums of money.

      A lot of food places, particularly eat-in restaurants, are just perpetually struggling. Half the staff are on minimal pay, or the owner’s friends and family helping out. They struggle and lose money for a few years before finally folding. A regular who has no idea about the industry buys the place and keeps much of it the same because they always loved it. The process repeats.

      There’s no way my small suburb needs 15 pizzerias and 7 sushi restaurants. Somethings up.

      Same here. I’ll add expensive prices (there’s one not far with simple salads at 20€),and a rude staff, especially the boss.
