Say that everything listed here was made from scratch

>$5 for onion rings

wtf

Here's the chili dog.

Need a photo of the food to make a fair assessment of the fairness of the prices.

Here's the onion rings.

fuck nevermind

And here's everything.

I hope you bought that at a stadium....

>$5 for that
It better taste like bliss.

5.85? brutal

>beer battered
no thanks

I wouldn't pay over $12-15 for that.

I can make that entire meal for max $8.00 assuming 1/4lb - 1/2lb beef.

Hot dog from scratch?
Yeah right

>dry as fuck looking hamburger
>shitty hotdog, looks like it came from a package of Bar-S
>topped with shitty looking chili that looks bland as fuck and over a week old
>okay looking overpriced onion rings

You got fucked.

You got rekt. I thought it was gonna be some high end umami type shit but it looks like some backyard barbeque or roadside shit.

For that price the fuckin burger outta get on its knees and blow me

yea but you don't grow your own fuckin bacon do you?

I cure it from a whole pork belly that costs $2.99/lb. Now fuck right on off.

Now that I see the pic, I take back my estimate . It would be under $4.00.

I charge
cheeseburger $6 (1/4 lb, cheddar-swiss-pepperjack)
bacon $1.00 per slice (it's 8/10 per pound, nice and thick)
hotdog $5 (good dog, smoked with hazelnut shells)
chili top I would probably charge $2
onion ring $6 (Brew City)

No one complains, and they're all between 30-40% food cost -which is more than fair.

Bacon is a little overpriced IMO
I'd put more chili on top of the dog , and make it more saucey
That's a big dog though, 4/1?

>$5.85 for onion rings
What the fuck

the extras like bacon and chili are over priced. the onion rings might be overpriced depending on the serving but since this is a local place they prolly jew you.

You got fucked hard

So you're saying that the big chains are honorable in that regard?

Before this pic? 20 bucks.. Not too bad... After this pic? Say no to the onion rings. At $13 I still feel bad that burger is so small though

that's like a dollar per ring

no. but local places can get away with it more cause not being a chain is a novelty.

you got jewed hard OP.

...and electricity to keep it cool, fuel to cook it and keep it warm, cooking medium (oil (fryer)), insurance, electricity and detergent to wash the dishes used, rent/mortgage, fire suppression system maintenance, etc etc.
There's a shit ton of overhead people who are not in the industry don't understand or take into the equation. There are a lot of places that shut down because the owners run too tight of a margin, for sure -I've run a couple of those kitchens. But there are also a lot of places that have to shut down because they can't sell their food at the price that they need to to keep rent paid, the water and electricity on, and make payroll. It's a harsh mistress, often.

I wonder who exactly is behind (((this post))).

Oy vey!
Seriously, it's a rough business. Most people fail within the first few years.
And, really, you should ask: Who exactly is behind the insurance, rent/lease/mortgage, etc etc that fleece these places.

i can't believe you payed 20 dollars for that

assume that the customer pays double what the restaurant paid for ingredients. time isn't a factor since there are ways for restaurant to pay their employees less than minimum wage.

Trust me, as a former small business owner I do know the answers to those questions ;>)

The chili topping price is high, but other than that's it's fair.

Got fucked on that meal. Owners who charge that much should at the very least make the food out of quality ingredients. All the food shown looks less than inspired too. Meat probably is low grade by the looks of it.

op im guessing you're at a sporting event or something based on the jew prices and paper plates.

consider food cost percentage. A standard recipe is sold for around 3 times its food cost. 25%-30% is standard. now you cant always charge exactly by that food cost, if so, steaks will be way to exspensive. instead resturants will upcharge more popular items (salads, apps, soups or add ons) to balance the lower profit margin of a high cost item find the average. a steak is sold at around %40 food cost and the soup is %10

Onions ring look good but I count like 8 maybe 9 rings. For almost 6 dollars ouch.

>we respectfully ask
And I respectfully ask you to ring it up, service bitch

you got taken for a fkn ride m8, that will cost you like $1.50 from the market.

a little overpriced

>Meat probably is low grade by the looks of it.

Exactly what about the beef - assuming you mean the beef - makes it look "low-grade"?

look at the chili mate.

I'm still waiting for you to elaborate. "Look at X" isn't elaboration.

if you cant tell poor quality meat than you need to kys.

I accept your forfeit of this debate.

...

but seriously user you spent $20 on $12 worth of food. kys.

Mmm, yesss. Good goy. Tomorrow I make you deal!

>made from scratch

This does matter. You're probably talking about all fresh ingredients, family recipes that haven't changed in years, care put into the food that you wouldn't find at a fast food joint. There's value in all of that, and that's what you're really paying for, not just the raw ingredients.

this does not look dry

You pay *4 though, on average

no you don't.

Lel, yeah it's an incredibly complex task. Buy whole pork belly from asian market for $2.99/lb. Rub with salt, sugar and sodium nitrite. Place in refrigerator for 2 weeks. Remove, rinse and smoke. Wew.

20 dollars? I can't believe you payed 30 dollars for that! What kind of charlatan gets off charging 40 dollars for such a paltry meal! Do the plain paper plates factor in to the 50 dollars they charge? If I were you I would go and get my 60 dollars back from them. You got robbed of 70 dollars.

We respectfully request you choose another country to invade.

this

you got ripped off hard, especially $5.85 for like 10 onion rings? shouldn't be more than $3 maybe $3.50 for that amount.

If you want a side, but you don't want fries, they've kind of got you

let's see some photos

not to say the mudslimes aren't invading regardless, but that image was debunked ages ago, user. it's fake, target never put those signs up, nor did they have that policy.

I made a thread back in February when I made it, but I deleted those pics. But I vacuum packed it. I don't fucking eat bacon every day so a whole pork belly will last six months.

It's really simple and cheap, I'm not shitting. Even if you don't have a smoker it's still excellent. You can spice it however you want too.

That depends on what. They buy bulk so in they can make it cheaper. But no fastfood joint does this though, ever.

I say it's OP unless you're almost dying and also have the cash

>"haha, flyovers"

can you make a new thread when you do it again

I will. Probably in July though, as I still have several hunks of it. It's just my wife and I and she doesn't eat that much of it.

>bacon
>1.60
hmmm
>hot dog
>3.55
what comes on it

whith that money you buy like seven kg pure meat

ITT foodfags expect entire meals cooked to order and served in a place to eat it to cost nothing while the business pays a ton in taxes.

Yeah then you have to spend time prepping, cooking, using up utilities to make it

>25%-30% is standard.
30-40 is standard. 25% is McDonalds tier turn & burn percentage. Or a way overpriced establishment that is trying to re-coup the cost of their labor etc AND turn a hard nosed profit.

>using up utilities cooking.

I hear this so often from you lazy ass fags. Next time you cook something, switch all circuit breakers off on everything except the range and take a before and after reading on your metre, faggot. You probably can't even detect it.

>20 dollars
>For 3 items
>No drink

You must have gone to 5 goys or something.

seems, fine, but i live in an expensive part of the country, so $20 for a bacon cheeseburger, onion rings and chili dog isn't really nuts at all.

kinda surprising that the onion rings would be as expensive as they are tho
