Outdoor Dining Didn't Save Them

In September 2020, Sizzler USA announced that they had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing COVID-19 forcing it to temporarily close its restaurants' dining rooms. The company also cited problems paying rent. Most of the company-owned restaurants are located in highly COVID-19 infected areas of California that did not permit restaurants to even partially open dining rooms as recently as September 2020.
Is the future of not cooking at home large industrial kitchens w/ hundreds of delivery people who used to be restaurant workers risking their lives in traffic every day? Or ... robots?
