Data shows that within the first year, roughly 17% of restaurants close, which grows significantly over time. In the UK, about 60% of restaurants shut down in the first year, and within five years, the failure rate reaches nearly 80%. Over 4,000 outlets closed down in the UK in 2024, a noticeable increase compared to previous years. The last quarter alone saw closures spike to an average of eight per day, reflecting ongoing pressures on profitability. A range of factors, including high energy costs, inflation, and labor shortages, have significantly impacted restaurant profitability, contributing to increased closure rates. https://www.restroworks.com/blog/restaurant-failure-rate-statistics-uk/
