Price charged on food panada is more as compared to price if one buy directly from the restaurant. effectively amount charged by food panda is paid by the customers

Very good subject.. taste and service matters. Hygiene is super important too. it reminded me of a show on Food Network “ Restaurant Impossible “ hosted by the great chef Robert Irvine. The concept is that a failing restraunt calls robert for help and he visits that restaurant analyze the problems and provide a solution. As a viewer you start to learn what are the things that separates a good from bad one. <br>A realistic food margin according to that show is around 30%. The price of a dish should be divided into 3 parts. Operations costs + cost of making that dish + your margin.

After nearly 20 years in the restaurant business, one belief has become very clear to me: restaurants don’t just sell food—they sell experiences. <br> <br>And great experiences don’t come from recipes alone. They come from people, culture, leadership, and the energy of the team behind the operation. <br> <br>In my experience, people often don’t leave jobs—they leave cultures, leadership, or environments where they no longer feel valued. <br> <br>If your team is genuinely happy to come to work, stays committed during difficult times, gives their best even when you are away or on leave, and feels ownership of the business—that, to me, is a real measure of leadership success. <br> <br>Team can make you rise, and team can make you fall. <br>Build the right culture, take care of your people, and they will take care of your guests. <br> <br>Because at the end of the day, your food may bring the customer in once, but your people and the experience bring them back.

It's not only in Pakistan it's the most common thing in US. A large percentage hardly have credit cards but have more in Urban centers. Credits cards were already a common thing in 80's in US. Every bank offers rewards for restuarants, etc since i have been here in late 90'a
