im about to level up to 19 then 20 then ill get a new rank👁🥞👁

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

damn

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.

@xorgy thats a lot of messages

you must be leveling up a lot

lol

👁

No, I just type too much.

it's not the price, it's that the resturant is barely keeping afloat at that price

ahh

well

you could just ask these people

they'll probably show you at least some of why their books are so fucked.
