  • The majority of restaurants make very little money on food. I have worked in kitchens, hotels, kebab shops, Indian restaurants, Chinese takeaways. One hotel that I worked at, I was scrapping the plate into the bin so I could clear the left overs and wash the plate up. The female owner came in and screamed at me, what are you doing? I said scraping the left overs so I can wash the plate. She complained that was money down the drain, the food should be scrapped off into containers which was then put in the fridge or freezer and used the next dinner service. I did not last there very long, the thought of scraping other people's left overs and serving it to other people is disgusting. Indian and Chinese make very little money, especially Indian as the majority of the food is based on spices, which cost a lot of money, so the extras such as drinks are high. The only profitable takeaways are kebab shops, the owners and majority of staff have hundreds of pounds in their pockets. A lot more than I was getting a night delivering. I am UK, and that is what it is like in UK food industry.

  • i was told by someone that buffets also tend to make their food more salty so people drink more water and fill up. talk about sneaky

  • Truthfully speaking, I prefer to eat a meal until 70% full, not stuff my stomach until I get my money worth. hence, I never go to buffets,

  • You also just have to set the price standard high enough so the average consumer doesn't go above it. That way, abnormal people, just never cut deep enough. This is a monetary 'safeguard'.
