I always thought a Mongolian grill near a college campus would be a hit business. They're perfect because you don't need ovens or fryers or any expensive equipment really other than the grill and refrigerators for the foods. 2 dishwashers, 2 prep cooks, and 1-5 cooks on the grill depending on the time.
Charge $10 for all you can eat- most people will only go through the line once or twice. Fast customer turnover rates with students getting quick meals and lunch between classes.
Average meal costs restaurant $1.50 so figuring on average a person goes 1.5 times to the grill that's $2.25 out of pocket and $7.75 profit per customer.
Average customer stay is 30 minutes. Seating capacity of 150. Lunch and dinner rushes would see more than 250 customers in a 3-hour period. $2,000 profit lunch and $2,000 profit dinner, $1,000 profit for the remainder.
$5,000 profit per day, on average. Pay cooks $13-$15 an hour and dishwashers $10-$12. Servers $6 an hour.
My labor costs would be roughly $1,000 a day. Food costs would be around $1,000 a day also. Miscellaneous whatnots $500 a day, finally to still clear $2,500 every day.
$2,500 a day
$17,500 a week
$910,000 a year
So yeah I'm going to open a Mongolian grill and Benny isn't invited.

There's this middle eastern place by my college that sells falafel wraps for $3 and they sell like fucking crazy. It's just a wrap with rice/veggies/sauce. I can't imagine they spend more than 30 cents on each one. But people still go to the fucking ramen machine.

I always demand to see the staff pedigrees, whenever I dine at a Mongolian restaurant, just to make sure I'm getting a genuine experience.

As if any food culture that comes across the Atlantic is going to be authentic here.
