I think that Memason's idea is more likely. A pizza restaurant is not direct competition to a fine dining restaurant. Pauly's probably had gross profit close to the new more expensive place because the take out and turn around was faster.
You have to budget if you are a Florida eatery. It is feast or famine depending on the season. Wait staff is payed mostly by tips and can't stay around when the business wanes and the owners can't make it and spend it all, they have to save some to pay the rent and the utilities when the volume drops. We all know that saving for later is a rare trait these days.
