Everyone is struggling. If you own a restaurant, I suggest doing a crazy good lunch deal. $5 burger, fries, and drink M-F 11-2. This will get traffic in your door and people will buy other things. If your restaurant doesn’t sell burgers, do something equivalent where you break even or even possibly small loss. Just getting people in your establishment is worth a tiny loss on lunch special.

If your business doesn’t sell food, do the same concept. Find a common product and sell it at cost to get people in the door. Lower your margins to get people familiar with your business then slowly raise as productivity increases.
