Labor costs in fast food typically range from 25% to 35% of total sales, with industry benchmarks often citing a median around 30% to 31.7% for limited-service operations


Using fast food as a key indicator of inflation is not a good factor

Since Covid fast food starting pays went from min wage/ $8 range to $12+ starting range.

I don’t know what a Big Box is, but yeah, fast food is pretty expensive compared to ten years ago.

I think that’s a good thing, people are probably better off not over depending on such crappy fare.

Pretty close. My bonus is 45% now.

With that said, I prob haven’t eaten fast food in two decades.

That is simultaneously the best AND worst name for a restaurant.

I saw a Sonic commercial the other day with a $7 deal that's a buger, tots, chicken bites, and a drink. Not too bad for these days. I'll meet y'all there.

Arby’s has a meat and 3 box for $7.99. It’s a choice of one of three sandwiches, curly fries, mozzarella sticks, peach cobbler roll, and a drink. Not too bad of a deal.

Inflation is only 2.5%. This is clearly fake news.

All economic analysis on TD is always centered around fast food. How much of this stuff do you all eat?
