"the "All You Can Eat Salad Bar" is only available to paying customers for "7 minutes" and "one trip only" - Why?
----------------------------
It's all about "flipping tables." If you want to have a successful restaurant you need to flip as many tables as you can. Flipping means to "seat new customers as soon as possible." The last thing you want is some overweight Mexican woman from Van Nuys filling her fake plastic arm full of shrimp and wings for two hours.
It's a lot like the movie industry, shorter movies mean more screenings per day, per theater. When we made the "Detroit Rock City" movie the director gave me a cut of the film that was three and a half hours long. It had a whole subplot where the kids end up on some French Plantation in Vietnam. It was a mess. I took the film away from him and edited it down to 95 minutes. It was an instant hit and a huge financial windfall.
Bottom line -- More customers equals more money. More money means less people you have to take shit from. Period.
