No electricity knocks out the dishwasher, and over a longer period of time, refrigeration. In a no power situation, they can switch to manual dishwashing for critical kitchenware and use disposable servingware. They have a no refrigeration case as well, but that shouldn't ever happen because after some period of time without power they call for a refrigeration truck. Obviously, no electricity usually knocks out non-cash payment, but I believe they have square over mobile as a backup option.
No Clean Water
Knocks out dishwashing entirely, and forces them to go to bottled water for cooking; anything involving batter tends to be knocked out by no water because they can't wash stuff. They can still operate the griddle.
No Gas
No gas knocks out the griddle, although this situation is extremely rare because every Waffle House has piping to pull from tanks if they have to. If a situation is this bad, the building itself is probably unusable and it's just a matter of time until they get a response team on site to set up temporary cooking.
You can do many things badly or one thing really, really well.
Waffle House is really, really good at being able to make their actually pretty crummy food.
Imagine there's a cooking skill tree. Waffle House looked at it, decided they didn't like that skill tree, and drew another skill tree next to it labeled "Survival Spec" and dumped all their skillpoints into that.
And as a comment suggested that if the waffle house in an area is closed, GET OUT as it means it's truly fucked in that area?
Apparently, there's an informal measure of disaster severity called the Waffle House Index:
Green = Full menu
Yellow = Limited menu
Red = Closed
Waffle House has disaster menus for:

Why isn't Waffle House in charge of FEMA? I feel like causality numbers for disasters would go WAY down if they were calling the shots!
