I think we’re blurring a couple of lines, here.
Most restaurant owners are small business people. They don’t have stock options, bonuses, Mercedes, or lake houses, and they work far in excess of 40 hours a week. I frequent those types of places, where the food is excellent, and so is the service.
Now, if we’re talking about the big chains, then we’re not using the word “restaurant” in the same way.
Olive Garden is nothing like Sirena - a local Italian place, owned by an Italian (Fabio) with wonderful food and excellent service.
Fabio runs a restaurant. Olive Garden is much more like fast food.
