> restaurant buffets Buffets have monthly subcriptions?

  No, their entire model is based on the assumption that users could extract maximum value from the buffet (eating everything) but typically don't (have a normal- to large-sized meal, the supply cost of which is obviously far less than what the customer pays to get in). The parent commenter's point is that many businesses are run this way (eg. the gym is not equipped for 100% of subscribers to go to the gym every day, just as the buffet is not equipped for 100% of customers to eat a huge amount).

    I mean I don't go to buffet to eat a lot, but just because I like what they serve and I can make my own plates. We exist.

      And you can eat a whole plate of snitzels or cake without anyone looking at you like you are crazy.

  I was legitimately excited about this idea. If anyone wants to start a buffet with a monthly subscription, I may be your first customer.

    A monthly subscription restaurant would be a true game changer. I'm imagining going to a place where I sit and choose food without ever making price calculations, the restaurant also doesn't have to care about pushing drink orders or time spent at the table. if the cost was low enough people would probably stop caring about optimizing and try to get their money's worth, while the restaurant would only need to focus on customer satisfaction to get renewals. That must exist in some way, what is it ? Edit: school restauration is that, and I genuinely think of it as a crucial system that helps so many kids. I could see company restaurants in the same light but the closed nature isn't great.
