Can someone help explain restaurant industry economics?

when the business starts out, it's high risk and low margin. Tons of capital investment. Labor intensive and hard to staff. If you are lucky you are pulling 15% margins

Besides some exceptions, if you are lucky you may get some growth for 5-10 years. Then your brand falls out of favor (trends) and you spiral into bankruptcy.

Who invests in this stuff?
