Want to know why?
It's fucking easy to clean and hard to damage.
Save 2 man hours a day in cleaning and for a 24/7 never closed restaurant that's a huge saving.

Assume the refresh lasts about a decade, that's approximately 7,000 man hours saved.
Assume a wage (including employment overhead) of $20.
$140,000.

Meh. Better than the "hole in the wall" aesthetic. Plus, like >>11381015 said, much less maintenance.

I looove stainless steel finish. I hate dealing with dry wall.

You do know that they don't want you to be too comfortable sitting there, don't you?

They want the tables to turn over, and they're annoyed by people who just buy a coffee and nurse it for an hour while reading the phone or visiting with a friend. You understand this, right?

Most of them don't exist, nigger. You only see the restaurants that survived, not the ones that had to close down because they were $140k in the hole.

If you want to reverse this trend, visit restaurants that don't have this type of bare-surface decor, it's not fucking rocket science.

It's been standard practice in fast food for decades. McDonald's had ugly orange furniture back in the 1960s because they found out it made people less comfortable hanging around it.
