probably veganism, vegatarian food isnt really profitable compared to meat based, eggs, milk products. its only a subset of people that will willingly go to these, perhaps. i think they are better selling vegan products to chain store.
Probably making up the difference in the number of customers. Veganism is still a minority, depending on sources 1-3%(highest in inda up to 9%) of the population.
So running a restaurant and focusing only on a small minority might not be that sustainable if there aren’t enough people on the area or there is too high competition.
Adding in the general cost of life increases over the last few years reducing the number of potential customers as well.
And it kinda makes sense why restaurants are moving away from exclusively serving some specific group.
Most corn grown in the US goes to either animal feed or ethanol for gasoline. It takes so much more corn to feed cattle and then feed the human, and the corn lobby loves that.

How would animal products be more profitable if they cost more? Veggies are cheap so the potential profit margin is much higher no?
A vegan restaurant is not selling simple vegetables. Its like how vegan burgers cost more than normal burgers. Its mostly because we subsidize meat.
