Businesses wax and wane, much like the moon’s phases. While the restaurant sector is constantly in change, many major chains are facing the music, closing sites around the country. Even well-known chains such as Pizza Hut and Taco Bell are not immune. Many popular chains, like Jack in the Box, McDonald’s, and O’Charley’s, are suffering losses. While some businesses are shifting to more delivery as consumers become more reliant on apps for nutrition, others are closing permanently owing to a lack of business. Is there any way for these great brands to win out when the culture of dining out shifts and the culture of dining in grows? Check out all of the restaurant chains that are closing this year and discover if your favorite will remain open.

Major changes are on the way for Pizza Hut on the West Coast, where over 1,200 delivery drivers are facing layoffs as a new law raises California’s fast-food minimum wage. The impact will be felt in several counties, including Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside, and will affect Pizza Hut employees. Another franchise in Sacramento, Palm Springs, Central California, Southern Oregon, and the Reno-Tahoe area is also planning to lay off 841 drivers. This shake-up illustrates the continual issues that businesses face, as economic upheavals influence workforce dynamics in the ever-changing restaurant industry.
