Is there a more mathematically challenged group of people than anyone associated with running a restaurant? Discuss.

Labor estimates and cost input estimates are way overstated.

An entire loaf of bread is perhaps $0.50 wholesale. Their cost for 2 pieces is not 0.48. A single package is not 1.10. It’s probably a few cents.

They’re burdening all their costs on the sandwich and ignoring the insane profit margins on drinks, fries, chips, etc. Who buys just a sandwich?

"These numbers show Dirt Candy is currently operating at a loss when it comes to selling food. The croque-monsieur’s math applies across the Dirt Candy pandemic menu, except for cocktails, which do generate profit."

they claim to lose money on everything on the menu

where can invest?

Yes I agree it seems overstated and it probably takes 2-3 minutes tops to put together a sandwich.

Most of that would be fixed costs and not direct labor costs, and even then, there is no fucking way it costs $7 to make a sandwich.

they need to look at delivery services as a new client acquisition channel and not a permanent fixture and try hard to get them to make subsequent purchases direct to avoid paying that going forward. write off those fees as marketing expenses too.

I feel like you don't start a successful restaurant by being mathematical. You start by having at least one item that is outstanding and you sell the shit out of it. Then you can start getting mathematical and analytic. Also have a streamlined menu where even idiots can make it

You make money by selling drinks. This has been true since the beginning of time. True re casinos, cruises, theme parks, etc etc.
