    You’ll have to be more specific about what types of restaurants and where. I got my info online.

    I see numbers between 20-40% online.

      Italian and Chinese in Pittsburgh, Chinese and Pizza in Lex, KY, Greek restaurant in Minneapolis, Wendy’s and Taco Bell in Atlanta, Taco Bell and BK in Phoenix, and last place I worked in food was a pizza joint in San Diego. I’ve been around. The labor margins are almost always higher than anything else, rent is up there though. The wages are absolute shit, but they employ a lot of people, if you’re busy. Anyone of those restaurants had a full crew of 30-40 people working there.

        Fast food price points?

        One might expect if labor is say, 36% of cost, it could still be the largest line item
