I was looking at OpenTable data and Hotel Data this week. As I am back in SF, I have been looking to catch up with friends over dinner.
I can’t imagine how painful it must be to own a boutique hotel or a restaurant. Aside from the many that have gone bankrupt, the ones that survived are still operating under capacity.

It’s coming back. Slowly, but coming back. Let’s go America. Let’s come back.
