In this brief commentary, the speaker argues that the primary reason most vegan restaurants fail is their overly narrow marketing focus on the roughly 3% of the population who identify as vegan or vegetarian. By limiting their appeal to this small niche, these establishments miss out on the broader, non‑vegan customer base needed for sustainable revenue. The speaker emphasizes that without actively inviting and engaging people outside the vegan community, a restaurant cannot thrive on such a limited market.
