    One thing that's not factored into this are drinks. Those are basically pure profit. The margins can be tighter on food cause that's how we also sell you sugar water and a shot of booze for $20

      Okay but the fancy mexican restaurant my family always goes to for birthday parties makes the most amazing fuckin bloody maries, it's like a whole salad worth of garnish and they always make mine nice and strong and spicy.

        That particular cocktail may have more overhead and sounds good and I don't even like bloody mary

          Oh they're so fuckin good man, you just haven't had a proper one. If you don't get an olive, a pepperoncini, a celery stick and whatever else they add to the garnish depending on location, you have not had a good bloody mary
