Drexhage shared, "As any other small restaurant, it's never been a big money-making thing, but it was always kind of covering itself." This reflects the precarious financial state faced by many small eateries.
Reflecting on their journey, Drexhage stated, "We managed to pay our staff more, and even provide a health care stipend which we had long considered but never been able to afford." This highlights the importance of financial aid during the pandemic.
Drexhage explained the situation further, saying, "This happened to line up with the bank crisis of spring 2023, leading to only a small line of credit and a credit card at high interest rates." This illustrates the compounded challenges posed when opening post-pandemic.
Drexhage remarked, "By the time they opened, they owed..." indicating that despite receiving financial support, the weight of debt and unforeseen costs led to their eventual closure.
