When traveling I prefer subway to servo food. In America they sell a small bag of chips to put on your subway, so now I love to put crisps on my subway.

Subway is pure garbage and I have no pity on anyone who eats it.
I've tried it once, yuck.

Rather a Subway than Indian or Chinese.
And how much did you pay in $A for a cubic cm of fish with a complimentary grain of rice in Japan?

Eating out is incredibly cheap in Japan now, and the quality far exceeds Australia.

Depends on the weight of the grain.

Surely not!
Nothing is as high quality as a meat pie and chips rolled in inky newspaper

Rice is a poor filler much like potato.

Chanced an arm and a leg yesterday and bought a coffee with a chocolate donut.. $10-80 ... never again.

I brew better coffee at home for less than a dollar a cup and a donut was a treat - not a staple.  I could come home and eat a half price from the fresh food people Tim Tam or two - $3 a packet instead of $12 way up there where they'd be melted anyway... do them people understand the cost of refrigerated transport of Tim Tams at all?

I spoke to a food court food shop owner once.
He said  that 6 out of 7 days he worked to pay all the bills -
the most expensive was the rent of the shop.

That equals 86% of the price you are charged is for his bills.
No wonder the food is so poor.

Rice is a rich source of carbohydrates, the body's main fuel source. Carbohydrates can keep you energized and satisfied, and are important for fueling exercise. Brown rice, especially, is an excellent source of many nutrients, including fiber, manganese, selenium, magnesium, and B vitamins

Our routine in Japan was go for a nice dinner but the 7 year old would always be hungry again 2 hours later, so we'd hit one of the chain places like this. Less than $9

1.70 is GST.
At a pure guess costs maybe $3 to make.
Factor in business running costs of $2 a sandwich?

$10 in profit?


Obviously how many sandwiches you sell would be the biggest factor.

Three workers @ $31 p/h plus super, taxes, training, compliances would probably make it another 30% so about $120 an hour just to have staff. @ $2 a sandwich it would mean selling 1 every 60 seconds just to pay wages.


The maths just doesn’t add up to it being a viable business even at that price point unless it’s in the perfect position with very high sales.

Even thinking like that you would likely need 4 staff plus the owner working on the floor  too handle the traffic which again takes out the profit margins?
