Random Fact You Probably Could Have Done Without

Did you know...

So my buddy, let's just call him 'P', tells me something pretty interesting the other day.
So someone in P's family owns a famous fine dining restaurant in New Delhi's Select Citywalk.
Apparently their (and almost every other restaurant's) waiters are trained to put more food on the plates of kids than adults.

This is because usually, kids eat less than adults. And no self respecting parent would ask a waiter to not give their kid so much food. So you use up more food and they get more business! o.O

Won't "using up more food" cost more money?

That's the whole point

Successful companies try to MINIMIZE expenditure and MAXIMIZE income. How do you think serving more food to kids is Minimizing expenditure??

Avnish said...

The more food they serve you, the higher you bill.
And thus more profit for them.

Not really. If I get 1.5 times the normal amount, I'm still paying Rs.X and not Rs. (1.5)X. It's a fixed price place na, Citywalk.

citywalk is NOT fixed price
