IT'S BONGOVERhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/10/31/restaurants-remove-lobster-and-steak-from-menus-as-costs-so/
>go to high end restaurant>your cheapest glass of tap water pleasebrokies should be purged
I recently saw that lamb chops are $30 a pound. That is crazy. That said lobster has always cost a lot. Not sure why they would remove it from the menu unless people just aren't buying it.
>>545265858>Just produce your own everything and run your own services.How to know civilization has failed.
>>545265858Best part of the lamb is the breast, it's $3 a pound where I live.
i mean steak dinners have always been a loss leader for menus, still should have them regardless.for example a ribeye steak at 9 oz cost me $7.99 per from the food distributor back in 2017 so for your average food cost of 30% i had to charge $27 just for the beef alone not including any accompaniments so i lost a few dollars on each one sold (mostly because i had to be realistic with pricing) but it brought the total value of the bill up and it generally would be offset by women ordering things with infinitely better margins to subsidize the cost
>>545266769Which things on the menu had the best margins for you?
>>545266346Well that is the goal. Specialization is considered important to an advanced economy, but tech often erases the need for that.
>>545265858lobster caught here in the UK is very affected by fuel price because fisherman can only land relatively few if any and so have have to put all of their fuel costs onto the lobsters they land. there is a constant supply in general from scotland to the london market but there isn't an excess and some days and weeks there will be over-demand. fishermen always complain about their margins, but a small catch lobster fisherman doing it himself had much higher wage needs and much higher fuel costs.
>>545265715fpbp raise the prices and keep the brokie niggers out
>>545267977I always thought fish prices are a huge scam, especially given historically (salted preserved) fish has been a poor mans food.
>>545266769Steak here starts at 35€ for 220g no way in hell is that not profitable. Grassfed from a local butcher is 30€/kg
>>545267750Mostly appetizer things, daily rotating soup and addons such as extra side saucesThe best which i made 8 dollars over foodcost were deep fried picklesPer order of 9 of them with sauce it only cost me 34 cents which includes the pickle spears, flour/egg/panko for breading and the chipolte aioliI would go through about 40L of pickles a week just for them they were insanely popular with women.jalapeno poppers were great too. the soup was pure profit since the cost of ingredients were low and hand cut kennebec fries were good since i was getting 50kg of potatoes for 30 leafbux and doing them yourself is cheaper than buying mccain or whatever store-bought ones including labor.Basically anything without an animal protein as the primary ingredient paid for everything else. But to have a functional restaurant you have to lose money on big ticket items to get people in the door
>>545268128That's probably because the cheap pasta dish is 20€ and costs 4€/kg.
>>545265613these are great for news>alsowhen is mexico going to address the cartel violence??http://www.google.com/search?q=mexico+cartel+violence
>>545268128It all depends on what the reaturant pays itself per 220g remember a menu price has to pay for the food cost in itself plus overhead and profit if applicable you never know if they could just be breaking even on it
>>545268193I had no idea that much thought had to go into it, I'd never have made it in the restaurant business. Thanks.
Those faggots mainly eat beans on toast anyways.
Meanwhile in the US. >Beef price hits all time high despite imports.
I worked in a nice place as a chef for about three years in my 20s and I will never, ever eat out anywhere lol.You have no idea how much mold and rat shit you get served.Ribeye is 14/lb vs 70$ for a steak lol Learn to cook plebiscite
>>545268202Pasta is 12€ a total ripoff. Food used to be a lot cheaper I could eat high end steak for 15€ every day pre war.
>>545265858>In the colonial era, lobsters washed up in massive piles on coastal beaches and were considered "cockroaches of the sea". They were frequently used as crop fertilizer, fish bait, or feed for livestock and cats.FUCK YOU
>>545265613The brit yearns to return to the marsh
>>545265613Cheaper doesn't necessarily mean worse pic related
>>545268061Yeah, um, ocean conditions and populations of both fish and people aren't the same as 100 years ago, savvy?
>>545265613tftp
>>545268311yeah it takes alot of to get and stay profitable i walked into that kitchen and it was losing money hand over fist and it took me around a year and a half to actually start turning a profit which almost gave the owners husband a heart attack once it stopped being a black hole to toss money in. I had to go out of my way to do a bunch of tertiary things that most restaurants ignore>building a rapport with the local community and other restaurants >social media and print media marketing >constantly battling with staff, regulars local spirits to make even the smallest of changes to anything for the better>menu research constantly staying ahead of trends/viral memesdesigning and costing a menu is honestly the easy part but constantly bringing in clientele is the real hard work oh and slaving away 12 hrs a day 6 days a week
>>545265858Lamb chops have always been overpriced
>>545268375What I mean is the profit margin is so much better for the pasta than the steak.
>>545268433But neither is fishing tech the same.
>>545268405I know exactly how it's extracted. I've been running a cockroach milking farm for years. do check your local child labor laws unless you have access to many midgets with tiny hands
