My first thought was that's like Monster Cable margins.

On the other hand... the materials cost of an egg roll in quantity 10 is $0.51 based no some research I just did. In general a restaurant should expect to price a menu item at 4X food cost, so right around the $2.00 mark.

And when I’m sitting at a restaurant table enjoying at least decent service and atmosphere I don’t even bother to price out the difference because its paying for and different product. But grocery vs delivery its much more relevant.
