There must be a price point where it starts to turn a profit, and it must be less than, say, $25 for a salad.
There are plenty of places that turn a profit mostly selling healthy stuff and a moderate (but not cheap) price point.
Admittedly, these places tend to attract people who can and will pay a higher price for healthier options.

QSRs are happy when the customer comes in to buy a $5.59 salad that costs them $5.85 to make, because the customer also usually buys another product that has great margin, e.g., a $1.79 drink that costs the restaurant $0.20.
