Our secret.
I did a quickie search of the internet and this was stated many times:

"The statistics regarding restaurant failure are staggering. Approximately 60% of restaurants fail within the first year of operation, 80% fail within the first five years. Sometimes, however, learning the pitfalls before you develop a restaurant business plan is the best way to avoid them." And this is during non-pandemic times.

There was a Chinese restaurant back in our former home town that had been there for years until the food quality and variety started to decline. It closed not long after due to customer loss.
There is another Chinese restaurant near our former home that had been there for years also, but they are still in business because the quality and variety of food has been consistent. Restaurants are a tough business.
