Paying other people to cook for you is always going to be expensive compared to the cost of items at a grocer and self preparation at home.

Considering payroll and all that, not really. It's not just the price of the ingredients...it's the fact that somebody is paid to make it and another person is paid to serve it.

...and electricity to keep it cool, fuel to cook it and keep it warm, cooking medium (oil (fryer)), insurance, electricity and detergent to wash the dishes used, rent/mortgage, fire suppression system maintenance, etc etc.
There's a shit ton of overhead people who are not in the industry don't understand or take into the equation. There are a lot of places that shut down because the owners run too tight of a margin, for sure -I've run a couple of those kitchens. But there are also a lot of places that have to shut down because they can't sell their food at the price that they need to to keep rent paid, the water and electricity on, and make payroll. It's a harsh mistress, often.

consider food cost percentage. A standard recipe is sold for around 3 times its food cost. 25%-30% is standard. now you cant always charge exactly by that food cost, if so, steaks will be way to exspensive. instead resturants will upcharge more popular items (salads, apps, soups or add ons) to balance the lower profit margin of a high cost item find the average. a steak is sold at around %40 food cost and the soup is %10

This does matter. You're probably talking about all fresh ingredients, family recipes that haven't changed in years, care put into the food that you wouldn't find at a fast food joint. There's value in all of that, and that's what you're really paying for, not just the raw ingredients.
