Yeah, but don't tell John Roberts, he'll just invent a new Un-'constitutional' rule.
Gee, I guess you've never heard Ted Allen talk about his 'husband'?
If so then the ones that remain will get more business and will be able to pay the wage. It all works out.
Yes- found that margins are really in the beverages, not the food. General rule was that each item’s menu price needed to be three times the ingredient cost but that was usually “too much trouble” and prices were often on feel. If house labor costs doubled, I’m thinking four times ingredient would be a minimum starting point. So, an entree that was $21 would need to become at least $28-— and a harder sell.
I rarely go out.
A good burger place in my area runs $12-18 depending on the location.
In the middle of nowhere town close to where I slave for a living, there is a little sandwich shop/flower place that is pretty good and not too hard on the wallet.
I’m picky and avoid any of questionable places if at all possible.
One liberal restaurant plan is simple.
Drive everyone out of business and have all the serfs dine on gruel ala Moochelle.
The higher beings of course would enjoy fine dining with all the trimmings routinely.
Ridiculous, you must think that people won’t mind paying $30 for a burger and fries. That biz model is DOA. Money doesn’t grow on trees. Patrons of restaurants are just squeaking by too, ya’ know?
You clearly don’t understand economics. If an employee makes $10/hr and produces 20 hamburgers/hr then the per burger labor cost is $0.50 per burger. If he makes $15/hr and still produces 20 hamburger/hr the labor cost is now $0.75 per burger. So the price goes up $0.25 per burger. Not earth shattering.
Wrong!
Labor, productivity and production costs are not hard to figure out, It is third grade level math.
Then why are you failing if it’s 3rd grade level? You don’t know squat about keeping a restaurant in business. You get an F-
Hope you enjoy paying $12 for a hot dog.
But wait persons will still expect a tip. Leave none and they will remember you if you come with regularity and it could affect their degree of service. And you won't have the leverage of withholding a tip for poor service
$15 minimum wage is the fastest way to the absolute minimum wage of $0.00.
But you do not want to look at it rationally. So I hope all of these mom and pops go out of business if the are as stupid as you portray them.
Those too stupid to career in Chemistry become chefs. Boom Boom, get over it.
Thanks, blowhard bean-counter. You still don’t know what you’re talking about.
Who the hell is Ted Allen?
“It’s really an already dying business model that they operate under”
Really? Restaurants are a dying business model? Why?
He’s the host of the long running “chopped” on food network.
Oh.
