I feel the demand to sit down and be waited on to have a unique experience is still very much there, latent, ready to explode.
I would do just about anything right now to have a weekly date night away from kids. To be waited on hand and foot while a culinary expert prepares me an amazing meal.
That said, for boring “meal replacement”-where you pile the kids in the car to go out so you don’t have to cook- there’s less of a reason to use a restaurant. Delivery apps are so much more ubiquitous. Meal kit deliveries are much more a staple of every home.
