      They are already on their death bed when Gordon comes in.

      Restaurants fails all the time with competent people. Imagine a restaurant being run by a dumbass.

          Some might, but yeah as you said the success rate was pretty darn low. Even in the show when he visits back it’s usually gone back to shit as soon as he leaves.

      At least in the US series there are basically zero success stories in 6 seasons of the show. Even the best ones end up out of business a few years later.

      Running a restaurant is a paradox. It’s sort of easy to get into because the turnover is so high, but even if you end up having success it’s extremely hard to sustain that over decades.
