Gluttonous customers and a highly questionable business plan reportedly put an all-you-can-eat restaurant in China out of business in less than two weeks.
Gluttonous customers and a highly questionable business plan reportedly put an all-you-can-eat restaurant in China out of business in less than two weeks, reports Eater. Mashable notes that the eatery, located in Chengdu, launched a promotion in June offering a month of unlimited dining for roughly $20. People not only over-enjoyed themselves, many are said to have shared their all-you-can-eat membership cards with friends and family. While the plan was intended to generate more customer loyalty than money, the restaurant never got the chance to enjoy all the new clientele it may have gained. After about 10 days, the business had reportedly fallen into an inescapable debt hole. One of the owners only partially blamed "the uncivilized behavior of the diners" for the rapid downfall, telling the Chengdu Economic Daily, "the main problem was our poor management."
