$2.50 labour cost per item seems exaggerated. If the worker gets ~$10 minimum wage, that means they are making just 4 sandwiches an hour?

- mdavis6890 5y agoKeep in mind the author is averaging all labor over al sales. So that would include bussing tables, a manager, etc. basically every employee in the store while the sandwich is being prepared is contributing to the $2.50 per sandwich labor cost.
- bagacrap 5y agoplus the labor cost when the restaurant is empty are amortized into the actual doners ordered. The less popular your restaurant, the higher the unit labor costs.
