Restaurants are facing a problem they haven't seen since the recession

Grocery prices are getting lower — and it's causing major problems in the restaurant industry.
The price gap between dining out and eating at home is growing, with the prices for food away from home increasing by 0.2% in September, while the cost of food at home declined by 0.1%, according to data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The reason for the gap, according to a note from an analyst at Wedbush Securities, Nick Setyan, can be traced to growing labor costs and falling food costs
