In Redding? No chance. Labor is usually about 30% of gross sales, about the same as COGS (ingredients). Recommended rent and associated fees are in the 6-10% range of gross sales. I don’t imagine Redding has sky high rents like an urban center.
lolll it’s a fine dining restaurant too. nothing worse than making dozens of meals per hour that each cost far more than you make per hour
I bet rent takes a bigger chunk out of their business compared to wages, but you never hear these types complain about their landlord.
