$5 for a hot lunch isn't expensive. Also, during tight times, one of the last thing people give up is comfort food.

I think if you've got a great location, you don't need to worry about much.

I'm with you.

Foods from the market are much cheaper. I can eat a big meal for $5.

1.80 BIG can of Campbells soup
.60 One stick of saltines
1.50 Can of Chili
.75 Chocolate candy
0.00 ice water

4.65


0.00 Use of the company microwave
0.00 Use of sink to clean my dishes

That's not to say that I don't spend money on prepared food or that I don't believe that there will be enough customers to make your venture profitable.

The cheap food model is becoming more popular now days.

I'd rather have a really good jumbo sized dog, chips, and a cold drink than that stuff.

$5 will get you a quarter-pounder meal at McDonalds.

Esentially a quarter pound beef burger, fries, and a drink

vs

A quarter pound beef dog, chips, and a drink.


Not much difference.
