Please address each scenario

Scenario 1 :

The Neighborhood Pizza Place is not doing well. The husband and wife of this small business are now $10k in debt and they are not making any profit after expenses. They decided there is too much competition in the local area and strip mall owner told them last Friday that in 3 months their rent is going up 10%, which will put them in the red without a doubt. They rent the cash registrars, own the ovens and have about $7k currently in other inventory. They have 2 full time shift leaders and 5-part time employees. They want to close their operations in 3 months and are undecided about opening in another location. Should they file for a Chapter 7,11 or 13? Should they put an ad in Craigslist, or another sales publication and try to sell their business? Are they obligated in any way to the employees? Please answer their questions and give them advice on what they should do along with your rationale.
