Seems reasonable. In the UK the break-down is typically:

  60% gross profit  
  30% wages
  10-15% rent
  5-10% overheads (rates, bills, etc.)
  5% advertising
Leaving a profit margin of around 5%.

Most restaurants are lifestyle businesses, simply because they don't make enough money to be anything else.
