Default Re: Why do so many restaurants fail in The Villages?

One of the reason that businesses in the villages should not be going out is the low cost of labor. Perhaps they are not trained properly or selected properly, but there can be no doubt that there is plenty of labor to choose from. how they are trained is a different matter.

When times are good almost any reasonable business can make out, but when costs of doing business goes up the business owner must adjust his cost vs selling price vs propensity of consumer to buy. After all the customer is also thinking about his abilty to afford the purchase.

Who shares the belt tightening??? I guess not the developer.
