That really is a fair deal if you do the math.$30 for a meal that costs $10 equals a 33% food cost which is barely profitably for most restaurants.
Sure,it's cheaper to eat at home but most restaurants have at least a 35%payroll plus huge insurance costs,fees,taxes,mortgages and other overhead that allows the average restaurant to net a modest 6%to 10% on a good year.
I know it sounds like a lot of money when you compare it to supermarket prices but some times it's just worth it to have a nice night out and let someone wait on you.......and they do the dishes.
