Not every restaurant is a corporate chain restaurant there and no, we couldn't afford to turn these customers away.

If you think about it, corporate chain restaurants are much less likely to lose money on that than small individual places, everything in a corporate chain is cheap and designed for efficiency. If a small, locally-owned place is gonna stay open an extra hour for one table, they're practically guaranteed to lose more money than a corporate chain.
