I know - low information loud mouths are still loud mouths. Talk first, think second.
At this rate, all of Waco might disappear.

Pizza Planet.

The pho place that Waco finally got a month ago.
Don't see how the chicken shack can take a hit like this
Edit: op, the title of this thread is as absurd as my restaurant selection. Not for pc reasons (because I kinda the name wuhan flu personally), but because you clearly think this is 'hysteria' rather than reasonable and measured response. But carry on. This isn't the great kung fu debate thread, after all.

I have a bad feeling any non-chain restaurants in Waco will not survive. This little places don't have the capital to sustain months without customers.

Down the street at New Road and Bosque was Dunkin Donuts and then Polar Bear Ashburn's ice cream.
I seem to remember going to Pizza Planet for dinner followed up by Polar Bear Ashburn's for dessert.

In restaurant business mags, blogs, etc, I've seen estimates from at least 3% to 30%. I think less than 10% is a miracle. In general restaurant margins are thin. Many who look OK are really operating out of cash flow. Shutting down for a month? They're dead.

Which is why we are currently not going to any chains when we get take-out food.
Interestingly, we want to Fuddruckers last night to get some grill at home burgers (they are a local franchise, not corporately owned) and the employee told me that by pivoting to selling bread and other grocery items directly to the public they have been able maintain their normal levels of business. They changed their entire model very quickly and certainly have benefited from being agile.
Article in the WTH this morning about how the local Vietnamese restaurant downtown is selling toilet paper and other household staples, which gives new meaning to their name "Clay Pot".
I hope you're right, but I think there is 0% chance any business can sustain pre-quarantine levels. The world is going to look very different, and those closed businesses will impact rents, property values, etc. This likely is not going to unwind for years. It is going to take a really long time for new entrepreneurs to get capital to replenish all those small businesses wiped out.Bear Doc said:Flaming Moderate said:

It's also the only restaurant mentioned or shown (their delivery truck) in every Pixar movie except the Incredibles.Yogi said:Somewhere in that vicinity. I went there as a kid.dave714 said:Died 40 years ago in Waco. Corner of lake air and bosque.Yogi said:
