I think sales of course would go down, but so would staffing and her aches. It all coms down to your break even point, and much of that involves how much your loan payment is and how much you rent is. Did you get a breakeven spread sheet? If no let me know and I can send you one.
Todd, that's a good question. I do think it would impact it somewhat because you wouldn't be making any profit from your food, even factoring the extra costs and labor. Colorado Boy sells pizza, which has a low food cost and can be very profitable. When we started selling food it was just panini sandwiches (minimal food) and people didn't think of us as a destination, but rather a place to grab a beer before going some place else. With pizza and salads, they would eat and stay, selling more beer that way. So instead of a $15 sale we were getting $30 or $35.

How do you think these numbers would look without the kitchen? If you were just serving minimal food and had food trucks on site?
