Garage Bar has "Lady Drinks" Now for a Whopping $6? Oh, And I'm BANNED...

This is the part of the forum where we discuss Cambodia's nightlife! While most bars, nightclubs, pubs, beer gardens, and hostess bars are in Phnom Penh, we discuss the Cambodian nightlife across all of Cambodia, including Siem Reap, Kampot, and Sihanoukville. The main nightlife areas in Phnom Penh are on Street 136, Street 130, Street 110 and Street 51, but there are other party spots that aren't girlie bars where expats, tourists, and locals drink until the sun comes up. Feel free to post specials and promotions that relate to nighttime fun!

What's your point? I've twenty years experience in the game and not ignorant when it comes to menu planning, minimising expenses and setting gross profit.

Not sure why you think the business is a restaurant. It's a bar and we grill quality burgers out front. The last restaurant I ran had 200 covers and I'm never going back to that hassle.

Hope you're well Richard

what was the name of the act performing the covers?
were they a tribute or sung a variety of songs?
i would have thought with 200 covers there would have been something for everyone to enjoy

That $1.50 order of fries doesn't look that big to me.
I've done my research and feel our prices are more than competative. If you think $5 for a decent burger and a serving of hand cut double fried chips is too much I wish you luck in finding a better deal mate
The prices of food in PP have no maths behind them in most cases they just charge what the other person charges down the road my opinion .Knowing your margins is the key . What is your markup?

That would be telling! Beer is a loss leader to be honest (happy hours, buying mates drinks etc). Food, spirits, wine and soft drinks are where you make a decent GP.
