re: Ground Pati in Baton Rouge??

Might want to work this problem from the back side. Pick a number that you think might be a real number you would hit in sales per year. One million is a good round number. That is twenty thousand a week,twenty seven hundred a day,if opened seven days a week. Sounds easy enough.

Food cost-30%,if you're good. =300,000.


Labor cost-20% if you're good. =200,000.


Wow,you still have a half a million dollars to pay for all other expenses. Lets list some. Gas, electric,insurance,rent or note on building,and taxes,just to name a few. Items I just listed could run as much as 120,000 dollars a year. Lots of other things I have not listed,but you get the picture. If you can make ten percent right now in the restaurant business,you would be doing great. So,a million a year in sales would equal a hundred thousand in profit. Hypothetical speaking,of course. My two cents. Good luck.

If you like the concept, but want to avoid the bad pub of opening a place that already failed, open your own burger place.
