  • Sure, but fresh food is perishable, making this a more expensive prospect. Economies of scale doesn’t apply to a flat line of food waste. Fruits and veg only have so many days before they go off.

    Chipotle used to be the single-cuisine version of exactly this, and look what happened to it. Chopt does all fresh veg and over 25 years only has 70 locations. And neither of these things are cheap.




  • Most people have no idea how expensive it is not knowing how to cook.

    I genuinely can’t understand why people complain about having no money and then spend $50 on $4 worth of food to have someone bring it to you in more time then it takes to make.

    Someone somewhere right now is ordering pasta, the highest margin restaurant for item, at a 900% markup compared to basic ingredients in the store. And it takes longer. And tastes worse by the time it gets there.
