I'm Brazilian and go to Churrascos a lot (I think abroad you just call them Brazilian steakhouses). You sit down and people come around and give you different cuts of meat for a fixed price. Of course, this also includes a buffet and bread and bananas etc.
I only eat the meat. I only eat the most expensive cuts. Most people fill up on bread and salad and order a desert and some drinks (expensive) and don't eat that much meat in the end. I know for a fact I am losing them money because the owners know me and even joke saying "If everybody ate like you I'd be put out of business"
So I am wondering if you own an all you can eat sort of place what percent of customers hand you a loss?
mcdonalds 1 dollar burger
they are €1,65 now
They purposely bring the least expensive cuts out more often than the most expensive ones.
That's the case at places like fogo that now cater to foreigners. If you go to a legit churrasco they usually don't because Brazilians get mad if they bring the chicken hearts around 3 times before the picanha. But yes, that is a trick. But I will tell them no to the cheap cuts. I know what I want.
But this is also a question for buffets and the like. What percent of customers do they factor in losing $$$ on?
Fat fucks don't eat meat, they eat carbs and sweets, even your fat fucks aren't going to get the buffet to lose money. You have to worry about competitive eaters (who don't even eat big portions for fun) or athletes needing protein. I'd assume that Brazilian steakhouses or buffets only lose money on 1/10 of patrons at most. However if a restaurant sells alcohol it's near impossible for it to lose money on any patron.
That's why I never buy drinks. The only time I cave on this is when I order a coffee at the end, but only if I really want it.
>the chicken hearts
kek do brown people really? I wouldn't feed that shit to my dog
it's actually pretty healthy and tasty... just cheap and when you pay for an all you can eat you're better off getting the best beef cuts
well, we know you're brown at least.
Gonna disregard your post now
shut the fuck up you brownoid piece of shit
They also get very insistent about giving you sides to fill you up
I go to a Jorean place that does this but jokes on them I love their sides
usually they dont cooperate, become really obnoxious and you sit around for an hour and not getting jack shit
fuck brazilian restaurants
i don't know but whenever i visit such establishments i make it my goal to be as uneconomical of a customer as possible. i also take a little more on my plate than i can handle (which is a lot) and ask to take the rest home. this is almost always refused with the polite excuse of
>sorry, we don't have tupperware here
but then i simply take out my own from my rucksack and inform them this will not be a problem
Yeah im pretty sure brazilian steak houses lose money on me. But for every me there is a woman who goes in and just eats the salad.
OP here I am going to a Churrasco tonight. If this thread is up I'll update you on price and what I ate etc in a few hours
This is a very brazilian post.

I can promise you, you're not costing them money.
it's just a figure of speech. how much does it cost to eat there? wholesale is 1/3 to 1/4th what it costs at the grocery store. if its 20 dollars to eat there that's somewhere around 2 lbs of filet mignon cost. that's not impossible but i don't think many people can eat one full pound let alone two. most everything else is cheaper
Well, most people are retarded and don't know how to eat good meat, so most likely like 2% at best, it's not much, still I'd love to go there if I get some profit from my last long on kinetix
>He loves his meat mostly raw
KEK, LOL, LMAO EVEN
couldn't they just not come to your table anymore? What are the best cuts of meat?
Those places are shit, you feel like you are begging for food while paying at least $xxx. "Mistah serva, would you please be so kind to bring out a bigger piece of the tasty foods?"
i went to a brazillian steakhouse once at the last minute bc the palce i wanted to go had an hour long wait. its worth going once for the novelty and gimmick but i would never go again. the whole shtick is awkward and weird. i want to order a plate of food and chill not eat a sliver of meat every 15 minutes waiting on them to bring me the good stuff that isnt cheap sausage and chicken legs.
