Nima Safaei, owner of three London restaurants, told The Independent that more customers are coming in just for drinks or ordering a couple of starters to share, and were seeing fewer three-course meals. The New York Times has also chronicled the shift, noting that some diners on GLP-1s prefer to opt for shared small plates or family-style meals so leftovers are not so obvious
