I didn't realize the rule of thumb was 30% for a restaurant. I've always worked in retail, where a 100% markup is always a good rule of thumb.



Restaurants aren't reselling packaged goods, they are also assembling from raw, so there is both amortized cost of production equipment and labor costs associated with production that retail lacks.
