I’ve never once seen a $22 hamburger. Even at hipster places.
Edit: Not a single example that fits the meme. Sad.
Okay, Fries are included with this one but I’d say anything over 16 bucks can be rounded up to 20, taking tip and taxes into account.
You’ve also got Purple in downtown. Miso burger is damn good but is 22 bucks.
Every hipster place in France is charging €20+ for burgers, but you’d go straight out of business if you tried serving them without sides
I got out just plenty. Can you point out a popular fast burger place selling a $22 burger?
Unless fools want to try and pull iTs noT usd bullshit I bet much doubt you’ll find anything very popular.
popular fast burger place
This post isn’t about fast food places. It’s about overpriced local shops that sprung up in the formerly “bad” part of town and are run usually by <30 year olds with no business experience. Give me your hometown and I promise I can find one of them online for you to go to
I mean sure, if we want to play the not USD currency game. But I don’t think that was what I’d bring implied here 🤷♂️
To be fair tho I live in Chicago and there’s 2 of these places by me. But there’s another 2 that I can get a loaded combo with fries and a drink for about $10 USD and it’s always fresh and delicious.
…and they always put an egg on top of the burger for fucks sake.
This just reminds me I never went through with my 2010s business idea of opening a restaurant called “With an egg on top”.
If I were to start my own fast food business, I would make my food cheap as fuck and deliberately target locations that have:
- A sixth form or university campus nearby. Students are a big market.
- Nearby pubs or nightclubs. Doesn’t have to be a city centre, could be a local high street. The main intent would be to target the late night crowd.
People care about speed, cost and not eating something that will give them food poisoning, not gourmet food. The luxury market is oversaturated and we have anything but the luxury to do that often.
Also, if it’s a sufficiently large eat-in location like a diner, maintaining toilet facilities that don’t look like they’ve been vandalized is important too.
I hate how this society has turned something as deeply emotional as cooking and turned it into a factory farm where people think burgers and hot dogs just magically appear with fairy magic.
Fast food + college kids , good idea.
Fast food + drunk college kids, not so much.
As was suggested earlier, a food truck is the perfect solution. You’re not responsible for cleaning vomit.
Check out how successful Dick’s is in Washington. They have so many locations now. Their first location was Wallingford, Seattle. It’s about a 1 mile walk from the U district, where a lot of the college kids hang out. Now, Dick’s has a location in most major districts of Seattle, mostly around bars, and even outside of Seattle. They are cheap ($2.50 for a cheeseburger) and super fast because they don’t do customizations with a limited menu. Mostly window only walk up pick up, no dine in (except for the one outside the hockey stadium, but it’s standing only).
You’ve got the right idea.
And you just know that this is the type of restaurant to throw out still edible food in a dumpster and then call the cops when starving people try to take stuff from the dumpster.
Our chef has a man bun, a very well-groomed long beard, a facial piercing, wears black apron, and black gloves
But he’s passed out in the back, so this teenagers gonna slap your burger together.
