High operating costs, declining consumer spending, and unfavorable economic conditions have contributed to the struggles faced by these chains. Additionally, the shifting landscape of the restaurant industry, with an increasing emphasis on delivery and changing consumer preferences, has posed additional hurdles for traditional dine-in establishments.
