I wonder if we're starting to see the beginning of the end of fast food chains?

So many big ones are failing, if not already on the brink of collapse. Subway, KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Dairy Queen, even the mighty McDonald's. Each have closed hundreds of restaurants in recent years and just seem to be on a downward spiral. Fast food will always be a thing, from independent restaurants to food trucks. But in the coming years, they may be all that's left of the fast food industry and all the chains will have disappeared. If so, will it really be that bad of a loss?

Lets look at their year or year earnings, and shift in post covid business model and strategy.

Unfortunately, I do not have time to list and compare all of those income statements etc and make a call.

Yes, consumers are making different choices, if you just look at changes in the menu it will indicate the shift in strategy to capture larger audiance or customer choosing healthier food options..

Beside there are way too many options and fast food chains. New ones coming board. Market shar is shrinking.

@Fieldmaster "Too many options".
That makes no sense. More options are better, since it means you are more likely to be able to get what you want.
