Black owned business blames the community for them going bankrupt. Is the community obligated to help struggling restaurants?

So which is it? Poor quality -> no support :hula: No support -> poor quality?
It can be a self-feeding problem. If you get no support, you cut staff, and your staff might be good cooks. A pitmaster, the prep cooks, etc.

Now you got the leftovers doing what they can and you buy bargain foods to see if you can turn it around. The "initial excitement" money is gone and now its "trying to keep this thing going" money where you are shaving costs. It also could have been lazy, poor BBQ from the jump that cost them. Most businesses fail in short order so who knows, but word-of-mouth is everything for small joints.

It’s always black people making public statements like this only to black owned businesses, but you never see these bytches bytching about the mediocre services they get at a white restaurant. :scust:
I never had a white owned business literally cuss me out…

You have to be a damn fool to open a restaurant in this day and age. You can’t meet your margins and will need a heavy investment of working capital. It’s not worth it plus everyone thinks they are a food critic now.

Restaurants the new clothing line or record label.



EVERYBODY got one
This spot been open for decades

But serving trash food finally caught up to them. Now they’re in their feelings :yeshrug:
