Impact of Generic Restaurants in Airports

Many airports around the world feature one-off non-franchised dining spots, known as fake restaurants. These establishments, unlike popular chains like McDonald's, offer generic options with names like New York Bagel Deli and Soho Cafe. The dominance of these generic eateries is attributed to cost-effectiveness, as setting up franchises in airports involves high expenses.
