You're at a restaurant where you've just enjoyed a delicious meal. The server brings you your check. You open it, and gasp. Why does it cost so much? Well, the owner of the restaurant might be asking himself the same question. Restaurants have a lot of costs to manage, and surprisingly, the cost of the actual food is the least of an owner's worries. Before a restaurant can operate correctly, it needs the appropriate equipment. The most expensive pieces of equipment are usually ovens, stoves, refrigerators, freezers, ice machines, dishwashers and other necessary equipment for the back of house. An oven by itself can cost more than a few thousand dollars. The restaurant also needs smaller equipment, like knives, spatulas, and other cooking utensils for the cooks. The customers also need something to eat with, which means buying hundreds if not thousands of sets of silverware. All this restaurant equipment needs a building to reside in. Commercial real estate can be costly, especially if its in a prime location, which is exactly where it must be for the restaurant to succeed. You also have to pay the utilities for the building, which can be pretty costly considering the amount of electricity used in a restaurant's kitchen. Once the restaurant actually opens, an owner has to pay for employees to actually cook the food, serve the food, and keep the place clean. The larger the restaurant, the higher the labor costs. Labor costs also include the cost of training your employees, which is an important step in getting a restaurant to run smoothly. So if you're wondering why your check is always so high when you eat out, just be grateful that it's much smaller than the owner's.
