How Slim are Restaurant Margins?

Since I stay at home all years round, and can’t stand cold, any place safe is good.

Really good but my fave is La Barbecue - ex pit master from Franklin, just as good and lines aren’t as long

Restaurant is a bad business.

It appears $131 is from adjustments. That must be where they were out-of-stock on what was ordered. What’s the $231 promotions? Is that the restaurant making the offer or grub hub forces them into it? The math for restaurants is the food cost needs to be 20-25% of menu price to turn a profit. The issue with delivery only is restaurants still have a lot of their overhead expense, but their dining room is closed. I bet delivery orders on top of a full dining room makes delivery profitable. There’s no way delivery profits are enough to cover the rent of the full restaurant.

Overpriced crap.

Specialty’s Café & Bakery, headquartered in Pleasanton, going out of business

Wow. I’m not surprised though. Their core business is lunch for office employees. There’s one walking distance from the office. People like it since you can order ahead then just pick it up. Business catering was big for them too.

That sucks. I like their cookies…

So harsh. You must eat very well.

Sweetgreen fan?
What about Mixt greens?

Made the mistake of eating there 3 or 4 times? The soup was tiny. Spent over 10 bucks and still came out hungry…

Noooooooooooo

Man, did not know Specialty has so many fans.

:sweat:

Several restaurants are open Tahoe. But local bureaucrats tell tourists to stay away.

Chipotle more than doubled since March.
