Because of their roots in the hurricane prone south, Waffle House corporate is willing to go to extreme lengths to ensure that if the map says they're there, they're there. If it is physically possible to sell food, they will do so. Even if that means bringing in reefer trucks, tankers of LP, and in the worst case scenario, RV's converted into kitchens. Their logistics system can be up and selling crummy breakfast food faster than the National Guard can show up with MREs.
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?
Civilization has truly collapsed.

During Hurricane Ian I was able to calm my wife by showing our waffle house was still open. I didn't tell her how many had closed.
