if you pay people to do work, it costs you money.
and it costs you the amount of money which would convince them to do that work
if you are on a similar pay scale to them, you'll think it looks like a lot of money
im about to level up to 19 then 20 then ill get a new rankππ₯π
because to them it's clearly enough to warrant working there
yes
then in a major city like NYC, you'll have loads of other costs. Certification, insurance of every conceivable kind, astronomical sanitation and utility costs
training
then you have to save
because you have no idea when something is going to suddenly be twice as expensive
labor for 2-3 people at a cost of 15/hour would add a cost of around 5 to 7.50 dollars to each dish sold if you sell 6 per hour
you also pay for the time they're _not_ working
because they are there
that is including it
you sure?
yep, just didn't include prep for a seperate crew
because that hour is also evening across days
!rank
also making up for shit hours
courtesy hours, marketing hours
the city must be reaming the resturant or they might not be selling a lot of dishes (below 6 an hour)
(or whatever _you_ would call it when you are open at a time you don't expect much business, in order to give people more certainty that you'll be open when they actually want to come)
places that serve 32 dollar chicken dinners operate by reservation only
ahh
they know the dishes that will be served
in those cases there's scarcity
and the clientele either don't want to, or can not research, source, assemble, and cook a chicken dinner for their party
I've met like... one girl who could cook something better than me
I suspect a lot of this comes down to people generally not bothering
and paying the price
which they are clearly willing to pay, since these places stay in business
when it comes to reservation-only restaurants, the customers are setting the price whether they like it or not.
you must be leveling up a lot
lol
π
No, I just type too much.
it's not the price, it's that the resturant is barely keeping afloat at that price
ahh
