After cost of the food and paying for whatever wages were involved in process.

Nothing too specific. Just you're average meal at a Longhorn or something similar.

It depends on how much booze and soda you buy.

Yep, places like mcdonalds and taco bell make most of their profit from drinks.

I ask because I frequent a place where tons of people get their good comped for the most ridiculous shite. I was thinking it has to suck to do that if the margins are so small.

Any place that you can get a meal for twenty dollars is not a "restaurant", it's just fast food for trash and poor people.
