According to recent financial projections, D&B has a 16% chance of defaulting on its loans in the next financial year. If that happens, which looks set to be the case, Dave & Busters will likely struggle even after normalcy returns post-pandemic. D&B is built on a ‘food and game’ model where they mostly service sports and food enthusiasts. With most sports and gatherings banned, the publicly-traded company’s stocks dropped by 26% in September 2020. The ray of hope for D&B sorely lies in the world’s ability to deal with the pandemic and the competition struggling to bounce back.
