Why do restaurants matter?
Sure, lots of people don’t know how to cook, and they still need to eat. Or maybe they want to eat different things or their kitchen is too small to make anything other than coffee.
On a broader scale, restaurants are a place for people to satisfy the human need to be social. Of course, there might be some phone checking, but in large part, going out to eat is a time to get away from the digital world and reconnect with family and friends over a delicious meal.
Another interesting point from this essay on Medium is that restaurants can be considered tiny manufacturing facilities that will always be kept local. Almost every night, these places will take raw materials (ingredients) and turn them into a product (food) that gets sold on the premises. They also provide jobs that can never be moved elsewhere. How amazing is that?
