Something like this???

They started out as just fresh cut fries and soft drinks back in 1980 but it looks like they've broadened there menu since then. The fries were great and they rocked in locations that had HIGH foot traffic 365 days out of the year, but those same high traffic locations have high rents too.

The only way to make a profit in the foodservice industry is by managing every one of your controllable costs (food, labor, paper, utilities, etc) every minute of every day.

If you move forward with your plans I wish you the best.
