    Restaurants have among the lowest profit margins of any industry.

      I know by definition “restaurant” can be a fast-food place, but genuine restaurants are what you meant. Fast-food joints do not operate this way.

        Even BKs margins of 18% do not account for a $28 markup, as was suggested above.

        You are correct that I was misattributing casual dining margins tho. That was a neat rabbit hole I went down.
