I agree mostly. Some restaurants last. Some don't. Where I live we have restaurants that have definately lasted. People stand in line. People pay others to stand in line for them. I would call that success.
On the other hand years ago I lived in a college town. One of my college buddies bought a bar after graduation.He changed the name and decor, came up with some fun ideas, ran it for a year and sold it. I asked him why. He explained that with college kids it's all about the new place. Everyone has to go to the new place. You can make money for a while. Then you sell. If you look at it as a temporary thing, that business model can work.
Follow Ups:
Yeah, there are plenty that do last the test of time. The Curbside Cafe here has been around a long time and is always packed and does well enough that they close down after lunch.
When I lived in LA during college, we'd always go to the Pantry for steak and eggs late at night or early in the morning, depending on how late we partied. A couple years ago, we were going to see the Eagles at the Staples Center in LA and I thought we could catch dinner at the Pantry which is a few blacks away, that is, if it was still there.
It is and hasn't changed a bit. A line out front that moves quickly and they still only take cash. I doubt the menu has changed since 1924, except for the prices which are still awfully reasonable.
