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

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

Depends on the weight of the grain.

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

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?
