I live in the NYC suburbs.

COVID killed a number of restaurants, but some, thrived. A couple of local sit-down restaurants switched to take-out only, fired all their waitstaff, and probably got a lot of financial assistance. They made out well.

A couple, never went back to in-house dining. They are still take-out only.

Doordash became huge around here (Ubereats, too). Pretty much every restaurant does them.

The prices have gone way up, for many of these places. A few places have doubled their prices, in just a few months.

Not sure of all the causes, or the long-term effects, but I am not seeing too many "Help Wanted" signs.
