Cheesecake Factory tells its landlords it won’t be able to pay April rent

The Cheesecake Factory won’t be able to pay its April rent at its nearly 300 locations, highlighting how deeply the coronavirus pandemic is affecting the restaurant industry.

Regulations instituted across several states forced restaurants to close as a way to help stop the spread of the virus. The closures have resulted in a significant revenue decrease for the company.

In a letter addressed to the company’s landlords, CEO David Overton wrote that the “severe decrease in restaurant traffic has severely decreased our cash flow and inflicted a tremendous financial blow to our business.”

They should have budgeted better. One medical crisis and they can't pay their bills? Bad planning!

Oh, wait, that's what everyone says when a worker has a problem. Corporations get bailed out.

They reinvested it in the company. not many businesses have a pile of money stashed away for a rainy day. If you ever owned a business you would know that .

Thats why your Insurance Company has coverage for lose of income.
Maybe when they renew their Insurance Policy they will take that option.
I feel bad for them and everyone involved, including the rest of the US.
But we all have to deal with this.
