Still Standing: A Salute to Restaurants Keeping Their Doors Open
There’s no way around it—some beloved restaurants have had to close recently. Rising costs, staff shortages, supply chain strain, and changing consumer behavior have squeezed many in the industry. When you see those lights go dark, it stings—not just for the owners, but for everyone involved: employees, farmers, vendors, delivery drivers, linen services, even equipment leasing partners.
But you—yes, you—who are still open, still serving, still pushing through deserve more than recognition. You deserve to celebrate.
Why Staying Open Matters
Restaurants are more than places to eat. They are hubs of community, culture, and commerce. Every plate served ripples outward:
Your local farmers, butchers, and produce suppliers count on your orders.
The linen, uniform, and utensil suppliers depend on your consistency.
Even your equipment-leasing partner (yes, that’s us) has skin in the game when you succeed.
The restaurant world is a network. When one part struggles, many feel it. When you keep going, you keep the network alive.
