Join the pharmaceutical industry. They won't go down until the bitter end.

which restaurant? i want to go there.

my favorite comfort food restaurant appears to be on the downward spiral, as well. fewer items on the menu, more expensive... the neighborhood is changing.

Your restaurant might need a new concept. Something that makes it unique and more aggressive marketing strategies.
If you can't do it yourself, hire a marketing advisor for restaurants.

you could follow the 3-step Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares plan, which is the basis for every episode, both sides of the pond, every week, which doesn't make the show dull whatsoever.

Step 1 - Reduce the number of dishes on the menu, fine-tuning as you go.

Step 2 - Clean up the decor. Is it looking sharp? Gordon says it should be!

Step 3 - Pick your signature dish, and alongside all your staff walk around town with samples banging that drum.

Good luck - hope things improve.

First of all, describe your restaurant. Are you high-end food that appeals to an exclusive crowd of folks? Could you offer take-out? What sort of stuff do you serve? Could you do more complex food with more inexpensive ingredients?

...and where's the lamb sauce?

Everyone in your area is closing? Can you pinpoint a chief reason? Change in the traffic pattern around the area? Just general economic hard times?

That may be where your problem lies. What's up with the neighborhood? Crime gone up? Traffic been rerouted? Is somewhere else the new hipster side of town?

Do you offer an entire deep fried cow?
