So how's the foodcost %  like?  In term of food, not beverage.

Did Aberdeen cafe actually make $300,000 sales in a month? That is $10,000 a day, including the slow days. Assuming each customer spends $20, that means they need to have 500 customers a day.
If they could not balance the books, then how could the Taiwanese restaurant next door?

You are actually smart this time. I had noticed this but did not bother to question it since I don’t want to the bad guy again.  

How many seats does 7 Heaxxx have? Maybe 50-60? Each single seat must be “turned” 10 times a day. Do you believe it is possible?

How often do we see 7 Heaxxx had a full house? Anyone who has the capability to do simple mathematic calculation will easily realize $300K a month is just a silly joke.

I went there many times on different days and from my observation, even on a busy Saturday, they still had problems having 500 customers a day. Now, just think about how many customers they had on the slow weekdays. We don't even know how he could make up the $300,000 a month sales number.

I also call myself as a "consultant". Are you willing to hire me? No need to pay me. A free lunch is what I am asking for.

If my memory serve me correct, a new Starbug set up costs US$250,000 on average. This is a 2007 figures.
