Is business down in your local Restaurants?

Question

I have noticed a downward tick in the number of people who are eating out in my community. I suspect even if it is down 10 percent many local eating establishments will go out of business. I think many people are trying to cut down on their expenses and are eating more sandwiches and macaroni and cheese.

Have you noticed less people eating out due to the ecomony and inflation?
