Wow, I'm a fast reader and it took me a lot more than 20 seconds to read all the posts.

Perhaps, you are smarter than me and just read the question. I certainly wish that I had stopped there.

Raise the prices, close the door, sell the business, these are all viable solutions.
lol. The post is ridiculous, made up. The op must be a bus boy at the restaurant and just doesn't want to work so hard.

Best advice I can give is let them worry about their own business. Get involved and anything and everything that doesn't work out will become your burden to bear.

2nd best advice I can give, tell them to ask for advice but don't be the one giving it.

You guys are responding to a troll. This is the same guy who started a thread about how NJ was too conservative because he had to pay to get out of a parking garage. LOL.

Then why are they making millions?
This statement says this whole thread is made up.

It is physically impossible for anyone owning a small but crowd restaurant to make millions of dollars at $70 per customer.

Exactly. EricS39 posts fiction most of the time. He is playing here - not serious at all.

Some of the fiction in this thread:

- $75 a person and each customer asked would continue to come if the price were doubled. We know that cannot be true.
- they are making millions; very few single restaurants generate anywhere near that kind of profit.
- restaurants control how crowded they are. The also control how popular they are. With a hugely popular restaurant, walkup customers will leave if told there is a 2 hour wait and no bar to sit at.
- Italian restaurants don't operate prix fix.
