I Sell Onions on the Internet

Here are some actual numbers from Austria for some comparable venues:

- sausage kiosk average(!) turnover 180.000 € (sausages cost 2-3€, better kiosks make several times that easily)

- small Subway €900k approx.

- average McDonald's €3.2 mil

I'd imagine a decent crepes place the size of a McDonald's in a good location could easily make €2 mil/year turnover and half that much profit in a good year.

A 50% margin on food service is unheard of. That McDonalds is making 5-9% a year most likely, which is in line with food trucks generally.

Agreeing with you:

When I worked in food service long ago, the managers claimed the goal (of a Subway chain) was 30% gross margin. But that's gross margin, and doesn't account for overhead, and thus is not profit margin.
