Do you really need examples?

Do you characterize all industries based on a few examples that you happen to know of?

I’ve had negative experience with private equity in healthcare, food and beverage, and short term rentals.
They seems to do a decent job in manufacturing where widgets are made.
It’s your job dude, it ain’t going anywhere, but there’s no reason to knight for it. I don’t blame golfers who went to LIV, I would’ve taken the boat loads of cash too, but I’m also under no illusion the Saudi’s aren’t bad guys. It’s all good

You joke but the price of eating out is starting to delve back into the range of luxury. Pretty soon people never eating food prepared by others will be the norm again.
Time will tell if that's a good or bad thing.
I don't know how a lot of places are surviving. The oversaturation of the restaurant market is real. I just looked at a 2.5 mile stretch of road not far from me that has more than 50 restaurants. I don't know an exact number because every time I zoomed in closer on Google maps more showed up. I had to settle for somewhere, and that netted 51 eating joints. It doesn't drop off much with the next mile of road that has ~15 places to eat.
People around here wonder why the turnover with restaurants is so high. Hell, you need an army of people just to keep the doors open.

Amazing that this received so many downvotes. Apparently the OT is full of Mamdani supporters.
Look at how many just accept the validity of the OP with no questioning.

It’s almost like a Free Market Economy works. Restaurants were a rare luxury years ago. Entrepreneurs lowered prices to draw in more and more people. Once business was up, they raised prices and profits went up. Then people begin eating out less because prices are high. Soon profits will drop and they will streamline and lower prices. Capitalism at its finest. Damn socialist progressives don’t get it.
That’s like a semester of ECON 101 there. You are welcome. LoL.

I work for a well known fast food brand. Our GPM has stayed within the exact same % since I started in April 2024, up until the past month when it has finally dipped below that range a tad. Costs keep going up.
If the company and franchisees were greedy the GPM wouldn't have stayed in the same range the past 18 months. Its too competitive of an industry.

Why ever buy any prepared food?
We’re definitely dining out less than we used to. Jokes aside, my wife’s sandwiches are waaaay better than a chain sandwich “restaurant “.

I had the worst jersey mike’s sub I’ve ever had a couple weeks ago but figured it was just the location.
Barely any meat, bread was stale.
This makes a lot of sense looking back lol

I make a dagwood sandwich daily and keep quality ingredients like beefsteak tomatoes, sandwich pickles, deli cheese and meats, Duke's mayo, sandwich lettuce and onions for my colossal sandwiches. The price per service is well below any sandwich shop and I think they're of superior quality as well.

IPO and trying to scale too quickly have ruined many a business too. What’s your point?

It is open rape and pillage of successful businesses.

Everything in the private equity world is driven by advancing profits at all costs. There are no limits to the depths to which they will go to hit a goal, firing long time employees or cutting meat in a sandwich. It doesn’t matter and it is pretty fricking awful.
