Sorry if this was brought up already, but couldn't find anybody asking. Sometimes when I place a building, it won't make any revenue nor will it apply to my island rating. My most recent incident is when I started a new game to show a friend the first island and my fast food facility will not make any money, no guests are shown despite seeing them go in and out. This happened to me earlier on Isla Pena with a Toy Store and another island with a Restaurant. Even when I bulldoze and rebuild it won't change once it's happened. Just thought I'd let Frontier know and thanks. If anyone else had this happen please let me know if you found a solution.
Facilities aren't making money

Have you checked the location of your facility? As far as I can tell they are intended to be placed right next to attractions like viewing galleries and viewing towers. If you create a "shopping district" in one point of the island, but don't have any supporting Dino enclosure in the vicinity, it's sadly not going to work.
Certainly if you have one major dinosaur attraction with a large variety of species and a huge ratings total, everyone in the park will flood in that direction leaving other dinosaurs attractions, even quite interesting ones less attended. In fact this is possibly your best way to tell how good your park balance is. Balancing dinsosaur visibility between enclosures looks like a definite thing to me though.
I don't know (at all basically) if the visitors go in for shopping when it's in the middle of nowhere, like plonked in middle of long path between attractions. Is it almost like food / drink is a basic need (and they'll stop for that) and shopping a nice desert (but of no interest if you need ice cream)? Not sure about this but seems plausible, possible .. is it the practice? No idea.

And OP: If you have an example where moving a building a small amount radically changed it's income it maybe worth a bug report (with pics), as that doesn't sound right.

I've had issues with Gyrosphere buildings showing absolutely no guest usage, even ones I have attached to the T. rex, Indominus, Spinosaurus, and other theropod pens. Also food and shopping places in areas with high demand for both getting barely any visitors.
For the food and shopping with high demand, make sure they have enough employees. If it shows 240/240 for number of guests you'll need to up the employee count. Then you should see a change from high to low demand.
