frivolous businesses that will struggle, page-40

"...Let me tell you first hand that expenses in the F & B industry are bigger than most realise. In fact they are enormous!..."


I went out for a meal last night...$3.50 for a 200ml buddy bottle of coke, the cost price of which is probably 50 cents...$6.50 for a stubby of beer, a whole carton of which I could buy for $40.

What's that equate to?? A 500%+ mark-up

Go to a club, or somewhere like Burswood Casino, and it's dearer still.

Sorry, but I've never known too many struggling restaurant owners.
