To further emphasize the importance of gambling on the success of many restaurants, I would like to bring attention to two local examples.
Winchells on Eastern Ave, after spending months remodeling (In fact not even done yet, still working on incorporating the patio area as an intrinsic part of the dining experience.)
However when the governor issued his most recent order to close bars (again), it affected their revenue so much that they have temporarily installed a couple of free-standing slot machines that, rather than being in the bar top, are now installed in the corner of the bar area for patrons to enjoy while Winchells enjoys the profits those Machines generate.
Black Mountain Grill on Sunridge Heights, has removed all of their bar top slot machines and placed them in one of the dining rooms.
Rounders has closed completely since the Governor closed bar areas-and I can only assume it’s because they can’t make a living just off of the food service alone.
Apparently restaurants cannot survive without the gambling.
Why would Anthem be immune to requiring this revenue stream to survive?
It is inconceivable how anyone can expect a restaurant to survive in Sun City’s Anthem Center with the limited number of patrons and no revenue from gambling generated.
To make matters worse, it is conceivable that restaurants will have to operate at reduced capacity not only in the near future but very possibly again as new viruses and new strains may develop.
It is a consideration never previously factored when determining the revenues of a restaurant, but now must be incorporated.
Planning on operating at 50% of usual capacity is something that is imperative.
There’s never been one successful restaurant in Sun City Anthem.
While it is wonderful that a new, "improved" survey is being taken, all of us should guard against SCA taking several surveys until the survey results are what the pro-restaurant crowd wants...
...this is a tried and true method used in corporate America (WHEN the new restaurant fails,
Those individuals can respond "Well, that's what the survey said"
Keep in mind that currently there are more restaurants closing (due to COVID) than are being opened.....it all comes down to financial viability.
Let's see HOW an SCA restaurant can make a PROFIT (and NOT on the backs of the SCA residents).
