Casual dining is in danger — and millennials are to blame.
Brands such as TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesday, and Applebee's have faced sales slumps and dozens of restaurant closures, as casual dining chains have struggled to attract customers and grow sales.
"Casual-dining restaurants face a uniquely challenging market today," Buffalo Wild Wings CEO Sally Smith recently wrote in a letter to shareholders.
According to Smith, these sit-down restaurants' struggles can blamed on the most-frequently besmirched generation: millennials.
"Millennial consumers are more attracted than their elders to cooking at home, ordering delivery from restaurants and eating quickly, in fast-casual or quick-serve restaurants," Smith wrote.
Millenials are too focused on food ordering apps and healthy cuisine.

They always ruin everything! Now get off my lawn!
What is this cryticle about? Do they want government bailout? Sorry man, you are going out of business. Your food is shit tier (50% salt by volume), and I don't drink so you can't fool my taste-buds.
How can you even "blame" someone for doing what they fucking want with their money. And they say Millennials are entitled, holy shit this asshat. Best part is they can't see the forest for the fucking trees. All the things they say that Millennials due are the "cheaper" options you fucking morons.
