/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Ever see shitty restaurants that don't have many customers and have bad reviews but somehow never go out of business? They're either money laundering or drug fronts

I got paid $20 an hour to work at my uncle's shitty pizza place. It was a front to sell drugs

>>16683866
why not just open a barbershop?

>>16683870
Because barber shops don't deliver

>stuffed mushrooms
Sad, that's what I got when I had to go to one and they still weren't good. Lazy fucks must have skimped on the dancing during prep.

>work at starbucks
>our default bean is oily
>so oily we are supposed to remove them from the hopper and vacuum them out of the grinder each night because it'll accumulate into the machine
>quality coffee isn't oily, only burnt cheap coffee is
>typically oily coffee beans show that it was over roasted, turning the inside into a crisp and forcing the inside's oils to the exterior
>this is done so because customers order so much sugar flavoring that unless we burned coffee beans, they wouldn't taste coffee at all

>we are also out of stock on a massive amount of our products and have been for the past 6 months because we allow too many customization options

ever hear gordon ramsay say how a big menu is a sign of a bad restaurant because they can't keep it all in stock/prepped fresh? We are enduring that first hand.

>>16684023
we are enduring?
starbucks has been around longer than you've been alive, stop acting a fool

>>16683964
What kind of dance do you need to do for stuffed mushrooms

>>16683841
This is how Olive Garden avoids outbreaks of food borne illness.

>>16683841
Anon....that hasn't been a secret since forever.

>>16684089
I said we are enduring the shortages. What are you talking about?

Oi mate you can fuck off right with that.
My drink
>six shot double shot on ice
>2x hazelnut (pump)
>2x carmel (pump)

or
>2x vanilla that's 10-20g of sugar.

Normal number of pumps per corporate in a venti doubleshot is at least 6. But if you sit there and fucking order 2 and 2 pumps the baristas are like 'well luck at Wilford Brimley over here'

Just because you were selling pot to your younger brothers friends doesn’t make your incompetent faggot uncles restaurant a front for anything but a spiral into debt.

Based, Trump was 100 percent in the right to try and ban TikTok

>>16683841
Yes that’s why it’s good. Dumb kids aren’t actually making this food. It’s made by machines. Perfectly cold, calculating machines.

>>16683841
The girls that work in fast food are super easy. I've basically fucked every girl that worked at my chick fil a, and if i didn't fuck them I got head regularly. Not a single one didn't do at least something with me.

>>16685545
i knew a dude that worked fast food into his mid 20s specifically to bang teens. he became a meth addict and his looks tanked tho.

>>16685555
I'm in my 40s, would this still work?

>>16684918
You underestimate how much money drug dealers actually make.

>>16683841
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAhuQoSFTVI

>>16685626
maybe but being in your 40s you probably already look like shit

>>16683886
...but what if they did..

>>16685642
If they're competent. I used to live with a coke dealer who did good volume but was a complete retard and always short on money. Dude's back with his parents at 30, still selling coke & still always short on money because he's always paying back fronts.

>>16685724
Well the coke dealer was probably a moron who wasted all his money on shit he didnt need. But a guy who puts up a front business and actually launders the money can also invest the money and make shit ton more. But then again all drug dealers are degenerates in my book and should fucking hang.

>>16685642
The average salary is about 30k after expenses. All that work and sneaking around for what every entry level job in America pays.

>>16685759
Im not an expert but i imagine that it depends what kind of drugs ur selling also ur forgetting that drug dealers dont really pay taxes so they got that going for them.

>>16685754
He most certainly was & did. IDK what he thinks he's going to do once everyone cuts him off because they're sick of his shit. When his parents go he'll probably end up homeless because nobody can stand living with him.

All rice contains naturally occuring chicken. You can easily test this for yourself by evenly spreading out one customary cup in a small oven tray and leaving it in the microwave until sunset.

>>16683841
makes sense the only thing that i would eat there are the endless salads

>>16684405
In uni I would go there and get a large black coffee and just study there for hours. They were eventually free because I got to be friends with the barista and she said they have to brew fresh coffee every hour anyways and she would just give me a cup of it and pretend to swipe my card.

cost of a glass of wine at a restaurant pays for the wholesale price of the bottle
bottle markup is 300% average
beer marup is 200-300% average
the fancier the place, the more likely their markup is even higher

You just need to reject making those stupid TikTok fad drinks.

I managed a Red Lobster for several years
>We don’t actually make the lobster from scratch; they grow in the ocean
>Cheryl, the hostess, puts out for managers but not kitchen staff because she thinks they’re gross
>I purposely hire gross kitchen staff so I can have more nights with Cheryl
>Cheryl does have herpes but prevents outbreaks with medication
>the lobster in the tank is sort of a pet. If you order him, we give you an unnamed lobster from the stock in the back. The tank-lobster is named Julio, after a busser we had who was killed in a drug deal that went south
>Cheryl doesn’t like having her toes sucked because an ex bf was all creepy about it
>I don’t know why the fuck we have a bar literally nobody goes to RL to sit at a bar
>I timed my vacations to coincide with anytime we had “all you can eat” whatever because too many Canadians and the asst manager was fine with it because he got to bang Cheryl while I was gone

>>16687958

>We don’t actually make the lobster from scratch; they grow in the ocean

>>16687580
>cost of a glass of wine at a restaurant pays for the wholesale price of the bottle

Most of the time, it seems cost of a glass of wine is what I can get a bottle of that wine for at *retail*.

>>16683841
Most run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurants buy their ingredients from Costco, winco, and other discount grocers. Most things are generic brand and some things are off the shelf pre-mix crap. Also, these places have almost zero understanding of hygienic practices and it’s very likely there’s some form of vermin/insect infesting the place. In my case it was cockroaches.

>>16685759
>30k
a year?
youre dellusional, a street level dealer would make that in a month
and were talking about actual drug dealres not a college dropout selling his friend weed once every 6 months

>>16685533
Yeah but it never happened. I doubt there was ever any intention

>>16685545
>The girls that work in fast food are super easy
why do you think that is?

>>16689298
Lmfao no, they wouldnt. Heres a tip dude, life aint a fucking movie.

>>16685533
>to try and ban
to try TO ban, say it with me anon, he tried TO do something he didn't try and do something

>>16689307
yeah because drug trafficking is such an unprofitable industry

>>16684132
I don't get it. Is 10-20g of sugar supposed to be a small amount?

>>16689321

>>16684784
>hey these pre packaged frozen bread sticks make me wanna support the chinese communist party and destroy capitalism
ok sure retard if you say so

>>16684406
You should be because it means they're overcharging you, there is literally no skill or knowledge involved in what they're charging you a premium for, they could just sell microwavable meals at the store but they don't so they can charge you 10 times as much by pretending they're making it themselves.

>>16684406
It's because people don't really cook. They have no idea how long it takes to actually prepare something from scratch, especially a la carte. It's not five minutes.

>>16684387
should have put eye drops in it

>>16689298
the only way they would make that amount is selling heroin or meth and let me fucking tell you once one crack head gets wind of where the drugs are coming from they would just would all just be sitting out side the front door making it obvious whats really going on

its clear youve never been around drug people
please tell me about all the "actual drug dealers" you know

>>16683886
they do now

>>16687958

>please tell me about all the "actual drug dealers" you know
my cousins friend used to sell "boosters" ( dont know whats it called in english) back in the day and he made fuckton of money easily (40K a month which is around 11K USD but when converted to purchasing power it was probably equivalent of 30K USD at least back then) and he was pretty low level,not a part of some mafia or anything like that, then he got addicted and not sure what happened to him

>>16689443
>one account of a cousins friends
>11k but copes about purchasing power
>mafia
yeah you dont know anything your talking about lamo

>>16689446
>one account of a cousins friends
better than you
>11k but copes about purchasing power
imagine being this retarded, of course people earn less in porrer countries but everything is also cheaper, do you not even understand the concept of purchasing power?
>mafia
yeah i just said he wasnt a part of organized crime? what the fuck is your problem with that statement

>>16683866
was the pizza any good?

>>16689464
and tell me how do you know all of this about your cousins friend you say you know how much he would make (even with conversion rates) and you knew he wasnt in any from of organized crime but then you say you dont know what happened to him
just seems like you dont know what your talking about thats my point

>>16689491
i dont know what happened to him because i didnt keep in contact with him it was some years ago, you cant even point to whats your problem with what i say

>>16689506
i did but your ignoring them faggot
>doesnt answer my question about why a drug dealer would tell his cousins dumb shit friends all about the money he makes and what his affiliations are
start there
my point is you think drug dealers are making 360,000 a year which is just fucking ludicrous

>>16689511
>>doesnt answer my question about why a drug dealer would tell his cousins dumb shit friends all about the money he makes and what his affiliations are
i dont know ask him, probably because hes a shit for brains degenerate, plus it wasnt totally illegal back then it was sort of a grey area and there were public figure millionaires who didnt even hide what they were doing
he was still commiting crime because it was all undocumented no taxes and all that shit

>"Post your food service work secret"
>This is not how u sell meth nigger !!!!
Thanks /ck/

>>16689514
>and there were public figure millionaires who didnt even hide what they were doing
proof for this statement or are you just lying to make your point

>>16689515
>Expects food service work secret in a "Post your food service work secret"
>Not stories about drug dealing and Cheryl the waitress whore

>>16689516
https://polskatimes.pl/dawid-bratko-krol-dopalaczy-dopalacze-kupuja-debile/ar/315443
there are many articles, all of them in polish so i doubt you will understand, he gave intervies in which he braged about his wealth, in the end they got him for something else i think and then made the drugs illegal
no way to know for sure how rich he was

>>16689534
Not only does it manage the largest national chain of one hundred and twenty shops with the so-called collector's products, it additionally supplies most other points in Poland with boosters. And he earns millions on it, last year he reportedly had PLN 5.5 million of pure profit.

i translated the page and after reading this guy owned the means of production to the shops for people to get these boosters he wasnt selling them illegally and was just flaunting his wealth so i dont know what this has to do with illegal sales but okay

so again you dont know what your talking about

>>16687958
Cheryl is a weird way to spell Chaniqua.

>>16689541
are you genienly retarded
do you have a mental disability?
i literally just said its grey area and as a way to show that i gave an example of a millionaire who did it and didnt hide it, you said that you dont believe that someone like that existed, so i proved it
he has nothing to do with anything i mentioned him in an offhand comment and then just proved his existence when you were to stupid to google something
the main point is taht drug dealers make more money than macdonalds burger flippers not a sinlge reasonable person would disagree you dumb fuck, no a meth dealer doesnt make 30K in a year, do you have dwon syndrome?

>>16689443
>a street level dealer would make that in a month
>then you bring up public figure millionares
unless you were just talking about people that make that much your post reads as if your speaking about public figure millionares that are drug dealers i dont see whats hard about this

>>16687958
>the lobster in the tank is sort of a pet. If you order him, we give you an unnamed lobster from the stock in the back. The tank-lobster is named Julio, after a busser we had who was killed in a drug deal that went south
I want this to be true

>>16689558
Lobsters can live for like 200 years it’s a fucking insectoid that only crawls around the ocean looking for dead animals to eat and when the water is a certain temperature releases sperm or eggs

>>16689511
Some of them are anon. It really depends on location, intelligence and if you start early. Every dealer I've ever known got busted, except for one.

>>16687958
I'd go to this Red Lobster

>>16689717
You think they wash their hands after being knuckle deep in Cheryl?

>the main point is taht drug dealers make more money than macdonalds burger flippers
why do sheltered virgins pretend to know so much about worlds they have never even stepped into?
99% of drug dealers make less than a burger-flipping job... you are talking maybe a 10-20% mark-up re-selling... the vast majority are re-selling ounces and grams, not importing kilos from abroad

>>16689959
What you lookin' at?...You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be. You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So...what that make you? Good? You're not good…You just know how to hide, how to lie… Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie... So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

>>16685545
I'm 41 and thinking about working at BK just to do this. And maybe sell drugs too

>>16689995
How about you tie a rope around your neck and do a flip off an overpass?

>>16689995
Or just make over 50k a year and they'll think you're a godsend sugar daddy. Seriously, anyone with a functioning car and health insurance seems like a huge catch to girls that have tried to live in the real world for about 2-3 years.

>>16690294
Are you high or just retarded?

>>16690423
I also told the bartender we should enter a domestic abuse relationship

>>16690429
Did you offer to suck and work the glory hole? If not that’s a classic restaurant mistake

>>16690436
No. But I will remember that for next time. But what I really need to know is how to land this job at bk. Do they hire just anyone?

>>16690429
Bartender I really did it this time
broke my parole to have a good time
when I got home it was 6am
the door was locked so I kicked it in
she was tripping on the bills
I think she was high on some pills
she threw my shit out in to the yard
then she called me a bum and slapped me real hard
and in my drunken stupor I did what I should've never done
now I'm sitting here talking to you
drunk and on the run

>>16690443
I mean you gotta make the manager ejaculate a shitty toothy blowjob is a deal breaker

>>16690443
>>16690451
Stop, you're making me horny.

I pointed out the bruise on her arm and I said it's either from sex or domestic abuse. God she was hot.

>My friendly neighborhood supplier worked as a pizza delivery guy
Weird coincidence, friend; I had a roommate years ago who was a weed/pill seller and did pizza-delivery.
I was woken up from a nap one day by a loud knock on my bedroom door, and opened it to find a half-dozen cops and my roommate in cuffs. They were there to execute a search warrant.

We serve hot food at an on campus grocery store. No one is serve safe. I have no clue how its even legal. They have a manager come by for health inspections who is the serve safe person.

Like I think its all clean and safe but still

>>16687958
RIP Julio

>>16683841
I used to work in a very well known chinese place in chicago and we would literally bribe the health inspector every single time so that we could continue having immigrant chinks do prep work on the floor

>>16685543

>>16691095
Now anon, you’re being just a wee bit hyperbolic, don’t you think?

>>16691302
It's not an "obsession." The squat is a primal movement hardcoded into our brain. Other apes do it, kids do it, it's only as we grow accustomed to our life in the modern world and sitting in chairs that we lose our ability to squat.

>>16690309
it's a schizo say some triggers words and you'll have some fun from bordedom

is this a standard thing in the service industry? I knew someone who worked at a bar and Canadians was the code word for basketball inclined folks

>>16687548
This only works if you're vaccinated though

there's a chinese restaurant near me that has had literally 0 costumer FOR DECADES

>>16684023
this makes total sense given what I've seen at my local. they are constantly out of things like the dragon fruit pieces and other fruits they use in their refreshers. how about the moldy cake pops? I've seen their deliveries come to the back with so many different ingredients in different boxes and I'm wondering where they keep all this stuff. It looks like a confusing mess of so many different items and ingredients. Plus, they've been closing randomly forbdays at a time with no explanation... staffing? covid outbreaks? I can hardly believe my local store is still operating.

>>16688035
Costco actually has pretty high quality stuff compared to most other chains. Every restauranteur I know of shops there. It's either there or the standard restaurant supply houses.

>>16691659
The first anon is only partially correct about the ingredients. Tiktok shit doesnt help but the main problem is a lack of workers at the distribution centers. Whether its from covid or unemployment benefits I dont really know but I can tell you at the store level its completely covid related. The store I work at has been shit down 4 times now because somebody showed up to work with symptoms and made everyone have to quarantine. Last week I was one of the 50% of the employees that was actually vaccinated so I had to work twice as hard for the idiots who got to stay home.

>The Peasant soup is made fresh everyday
>All salad ingredients are fresh and rotated constantly
>Certain sauces like the garlic aioli are mixed in house and nobody ever follows the directions making interesting batches

Overall Olga's was a pretty dope place, still good friends with a lot of the people that worked there. Also got to meet Olga herself before she passed away, she was just a cute old Greek lady and just wanted to bring Gyro's to America. I still think the 3 Cheese Olga is the best thing ever, nothing beats melted cheddar, swiss, monetary jack with greek yogurt, tomato and onion.

He was never “in”.
He got lucky on a technicality his lawyer argued; the copy of the warrant they gave him when searching the house wasn’t signed by the judge. So the tons of weed/pills/cash and the few guns he accepted as ‘collateral’ from some pillheads that owed him money which they found in the residence were all inadmissible as evidence.
They still hit him with “felony sale”, as what they based the warrant on was a recording of him selling to a snitch, but he got off with probation. Still a felony record though.

The problem I see whenever this is brought up is its incredibly inefficient. You still need to buy the product to justify falsified purchases to keep it hard to trace, which means you're losing a reasonable percentage of income on food you're just throwing away to justify your net profits. A smart drug front would operate on a considerably higher overhead/profit ratio business than a restaurant

>>16692509
>which means you're losing a reasonable percentage of income on food you're just throwing away to justify your net profits
A business can deduct losses from its taxes 2 years out of every 5yr period.
So for something like a single-location restaurant, it’s easy.
>deduct losses from tax for 2 years.
>at the start of yr3, go “out of business”, and reincorporate “under new ownership” (you don’t have to actually change shit, even the name)
>repeat as necessary

>>16692537
It just seems like more work than you really need to do though, I've known some decent income dealers before and they always use something more profitable and less paper trail like landscaping or power washing or something

In the uber eats app you get the option to give the driver a tip before they even do the delivery but I can tell you that as an uber eats delivery driver i get the tip notification about twenty minutes after you give the tip.
So don't tip then and expect your driver to drive faster because they won't know you've tipped them right away.
Just tip them if they did a good job and we'll get the tip notification later.

As an uber eats couriers I sometimes collect my orders via a back door to the kitchen and as such I get a window into their operation and I will never ever eat Indian food from a restaurant again.

Absolutely abhorrent.

Filthy pots and pans that never ever get cleaned.

>>16692690
How do you know they "never ever get cleaned" when you're only there long enough to pick up an order?

>>16692809
Sometimes I'm waiting and watching for a while and I watch them empty the contents of a pot into a plastic container and then they start cooking with that same pot again without rinsing it plus they're all black and filthy like the stove as well.

I know what I see.

>>16683841
I'm pretty sure almost every franchise restaurant uses pre-packed stuff, I worked for as a line cook for a place called Swiss Chalet here in Canada and was surprised to know that things like pot pies, and mashed potatoes came frozen in packages and we had to thaw them in hot water before preparing them. The one I worked at was in a perfect area where every fucking day was busy, bunch of boomer customers eat here all the time. I guess if any leafs here wanna know the "secrets", I'll list what I remembered, the menu might have changed by now:

packaged or came frozen:
>those tiny buns served with every meal
>mash potatoes
>spring roll mix & wrapping (fresh peeled chicken meat and chopped green onions mixed in when we prepare it)
>kid's pizza
>all the desserts
>pot pie filling and the crust
>chicken tenders
>coconut shrimp
>perogies
>donuts
>burgers
>pasta sauce
>baguettes for garlic bread
>chicken wings
>all the sauces for salads, wings, meats
>stuffing and cranberry sauce during winter
>general ingredients in boxes (carrots, lettuce, onions, etc..)


Freshly made:
>The rotisserie chicken (of course, there's usually like 3 or 4 large rotisserie ovens with a guy dedicated to putting in fresh chicken every hour)
>ribs
>salads
>club wraps
>french fries (this caught me by surprise during my first few days, never would have thought a franchise restaurant would make them fresh. freshly made every morning in large batches before opening by the preppers, until their shift is over and it's always just enough for the day)
>roast beef
>parmesan chicken
>pasta dishes
>baked potatoes

>>16687969
You are actually both right. Liquor and wine generally has a pretty small retail mark up so restaunts and bars are not getting it for much cheaper than you can get it at decent high volume liquor store. It might even be the same prices, save for some case discounts which are also sometimes available to the consumer.

>>16692866
Hell yeah brother, I love swiss chalet fries. Tell me more about those fries.

I worked at Papa John's back in 2013-14 and again very briefly in like 2019 or so.

>only regular menu item not prepacked was the thin crust, and it was just the crust
>some stuff came in a can like sauce, anchovies, pineapples, or in a box like meat, cheese, mushrooms
>tomatoes, onions, peppers, all had to be chopped
>did tomatoes with a knife because fuck the cutter
>dough was proofed on site, crust made by hand
>genuinely loved working there

Fast forward to 2019ish, after the Papapocalypse where Papa John said nigger and had to resign.

>car toppers now have gps trackers that not only display your location on a map to your manager, but track your speed, how hard you're turning, how fast you accelerate, and gives you a rating based on this that is displayed to the other drivers
>if you drive like you mean to make money, other drivers will be pissed off
>now forced by manager to Jew people on toppings - less cheese, less pepperoni, everything
>"Papa's Favorite" menu item now renamed to something like "Pepperoni Six Cheese" to distance company from Papa John - like Stalin erasing people from history and even the photos
>company is sovlless husk of what it was, working there was suffering

If I ever go back to pizza I'm going to Domino's. Apparently Domino's stole Papa John's methods some years back. Fuck that company that calls itself Papa John's.

used to live in a nigger area. not far from my house was an older mini shopping center that mostly contained a few hole in the wall mexican restaurants, a smoke shop, nail salon, etc. there was location in the corner that was a restaurant/hookah longue (indoor and outdoor). never had any customers, just the owners chilling outside occasionally, presumably talking business. was clearly used for money laundering.

>>16689408
You're paying for the convenience of going somewhere with friends or family, not having to plan a meal, buy ingredients, cook or clean and everyone gets to eat exactly what they want. The food is "good enough". Sure, you can make a whole lasagna that will feed 4 people for the cost of a single entree at Olive Garden but you have to do it yourself, you have to clean and you have to take criticism from your more autistic friends who think that you didn't simmer the sauce long enough because it's still too acidic.

I worked at a local bakery and the hygene was honestly disgusting. The racks that the loaves were set on were never cleaned so you'd have loaves being served to customers that were just sitting on a rack covered with cobwebs with no paper under them or anything. Similarily, no one ever cleaned the baking sheets, so they'd be covered with black, burnt-on grease with only a sheet of wax paper on top, which all the shit would obviously soak through in the oven. The whole place was half falling apart because the owner was too much of a cheap jew to fix anything. This taught me an important lesson about small businesses, that while they might seem more personal and friendly, and the food itself might be better, the health and saftey standards can sometimes go completely out the window with no corporate breathing down their neck.

It’s no coincidence there’s also 2 billion of them. They squat so that when the newborn chinkoid falls out they don’t hurt themselves too much. Every see chinkoids with the really strange flat heads? Means their birthing unit wasn’t squatting when the moment of birth happened.

Maybe other Swiss Chalets have a more automated process but when I helped fill in for a prepper, the process went like this:
>dump bags of potatoes into blanching machine to shave off as much of the skin
>open the hatch, let all the potatoes fall into the giant sink beside it, full of water
>stab a potato with a knife, put it into the potato cutter, pull down and slice them into frie shapes, very good work out after cutting like 300 potatoes
>fry like 3-4 large batches of fries at a time, until they squish in your hands without breaking apart, take out of the fryer and let it cool down before tranferring it into containers
>store containers in the walk in fridge room
>fries get fried again when served by the line cooks
That's about it, quality depends on the location I suppose, and when I was working there, I took pride in making sure all the fries served was fresh and crispy, as lame as that sounds

>>16691655
that's because the chinese government pays for those. there's literally jade garden/happy dragon/etc restaurant starter kits that are sent along with the immigrants

>>16693765

He was a fat ugly guy. He would go online and pretend to be a girl to get underage boys to send penis pics. He got bailed out and they took all the guns from his home knowing he would try and kill himself. One investigator thought to remove more like construction equipment knowing this guy wants dead but the other guys did not wanna do the paperwork.

>>16692509
Yes, laundering money costs money. But that doesn't really matter. Provisions of up to 40% are no exception. But when you gave larger volumes of money in your operation, it's better to have 60 dollars you can actually use than 100 with which you can't do jack shit. Besides, actual ingredients for cheap restaurants aren't even that expensive. You could easily 'make' a pizza for like 1 dollar and 'sell' it for 20. Punch in the receipts, give the ingredients away to family or just flush them down the drain and buy new ones regularly. It's only when they really have eyes on you that they can count the number of customers and put it next to your books that you could get into trouble. You could even use your delivery men to bring around drugs whilst supposedly delivering pizza. It's that kind of business where creativity pays off.
