>*pay hundreds of dollars for a single slab of steak that's barely even termally heated*
>oh yeah it's probably that good stuff
>*pay three hundred dollars for a 20 course meal with best fish selection in the world*
>OMGGG IT'S JUST FISH AND RICE!!??!?
ofcourse OP is a phoneposting mental midget

>I don't understand free market economics: the thread

I bet you kiss prostitutes you faggot

Because the only people paying are baka gaijin Americans so who gives a shit

>"waaaaaah $300 for 20 pieces of sushi is too expensive!"

Ok virgins, lets calculate that.

>The restaurant only takes 8 customers per day á $300, that's $2400 maximum potential revenue that the restaurant can generate per working day
>Assuming the restaurant is open 6 days per week that's 24 working days per month
>The restaurant would have a maximum of 192 customers per month(8 customers per day x 24 working days per month)
>24 days x $2400(8 customers x $300) = $576000 maximum potential revenue per month
>Jiros buys the best quality blu fish tuna which costs around $220/kg
>Jiros buys the best quality short grain rice at approximately $55/bag(9.08kg bag)
>Since other items(onions sauce, ginger, sake) are required to prepare a 20 piece meal plan for each customer, we will assume they cost $100 per working day
>The restaurant employees 8 apprenticeships, each one of them probably receives minimum wage which would be $8.85/hour
>According to the film all employees work approximately 10 hours per day á 6 days per week that's total 240 working hours per month
>8 employees x 240 working hours each x $8.85 =$16992 in wages per month(you also have to add taxes and social security costs for all wages so we will round it up to $20000 per month)
>Since we don't know how big the restaurant is and how much Jiro pays for rent we will assume the average cost at $4000/month for a similar commercial place like Jiro's restaurant in Tokyo
>Utility costs of the restaurant like electricity, water, gas etc. which should be around $2000/month
>Average cost for kitchen equipment for a sushi restaurant are around $75000.

Now lets add up all monthly costs up:

>$20k(wages)+$5.3k(tuna per month)+$165(3 bags of rice)+$2400(misc costs per meal)+$4k(rent)+$2k(utility costs)+$625(kitchen equipment costs of $75k/10 years= $7.5k per year/12 months) = $34490 total costs per month/192 customers per month = $180 production costs per meal

$300-$180= $120 profit per meal (ROI=66%)

>able to think critically
>autism
Hows being a neet?

Relative to what?

$300 is the minimum price. They didn't specify how much the 20 course meal costs.

Gonna need someone to verify these numbers.

My penis

No it isn't in any way at all, especially for top tier fine dining.

The calculation doesn't include the marketing costs and licenses/permits which would lower the ROI.

Have sex, incels.

All other investments

have money, poorfag

If fucking /biz/fags make 200-300% ROI trading online magic beans, then Jiro's 66% is totally justifiable for working 10 hours per day in a kitchen.

>Movie theater
>fine dining

You can stop now.

why the fuck should he ask for less? fuck that poorfag lowcost mentality

Point is that higher returns on investments are done even in the most basic of food products, let alone fine dining.

BECAUSE OMG T'S JUST FISH I LITERALLY CAN'T COMPREHEND FISH ACTUALLY BEING HIGH QUALITY WHY WOW I MEAN I EAT RICE ALL THE TIME IT'S NOT THAT SPECIAL, YES IT'S MOSTLY WITH CANNED WALMART BEANS BUT STILL WOW WHAT A WASTE AM I RITE

Absolute bullshit. Everyone who ever owned a three-star restaurant said they don't make profits. That's why they are shut down all the time.
Ramsay is making his money good food for normies, his three-star restaurant is just a money bin.

>gong noise
>Jiro rises from his grave in the middle of the restaurant holding a walleye carp fish
>tears it in half and then into smaller bits and tosses them onto diners tables
>THAT'RR BE FHREE MIRRION DORRA, watch out for de bones my piggy amelican fwiends..heh
>wind chimes noise
>fade to black

>Everyone who ever owned a three-star restaurant said they don't make profits
this so much yeah man nobody makes profits, they actually prepare and cook the food for more than 8 hours just as pure charity work am i rite

LE ALL FISH TASTE THE SAME, WHY WOULD I PAY MORE THAN 1 DORRAR FOR HIGH QUALITY FISH

That is some degenerate mentality there.

They still get paid tho, the owners (big) salary is included in the expenses

If you could get away with charging $300 for cold fish and rice you would do it

There are many dollars out there but only one hiro. If anything the price should raise every year as hiros life expectancy lowers
