    You could sell the idea of a restaurant to these aliens as - A test kitchen. You go there to eat food you haven't tried yet to see if you like it before you go to the effort of learning how to cook it. You can even extend the service to selling recipes to those who want to try cooking the new food at home.

      Actually, I think that is a. Good business plan here. Extra cooking and prep area would be costly but you could charge a premium for it. I would go there at $50 a plate.

      In this universe i could a alien school where Terran chef's teach aliens how to cook and make food/drink items found on Terra. As it could explained away as a cultural exchange program being tested as a future human business model on the planet. For places like the one in the story i could see aliens coming here to try new meals on a regular or for special occasions such as a wedding party brunch or celebrate a job promotion on planet trying a new food/drink item on the menu. I could see a plate being served at 20$+ depending on what the food item is on the plate.

    Wonderful Narration. CSB time... My good friend and old room mate runs several restaurants here in town. Some have been enduring, others not as much and were retasked/closed/moved as business needs. A good resturaunt prints money, a bad one sucks it out of you so fast it will make your head spin.

      Hey you can do paying a good hourly wage and tipping. Just need government regulations to prevent paying less than a good wage while allowing the restaurant and employees to profit off of any extra money coming from happy satisfied customers. That said without government involvement being pretty heavy some thing will go wrong if tipping is a thing.

    • @dasirrlicht5415

      I guess this is tipping, as in europe, not as in america. As in, we pay livable wages and while we tip rarely and not much, it actually is a little extra and not the basis for your lifelyhood. Given, can't really throw all of europe into one pot here. But lets put it different: Tipping and Wages are not exclusive.

      Tipping in addition to a living wage is fine, as it is meant as a reward for exceptional service. Tipping being expected in order for the employee to actually make a living wage is disgusting, and I hate that so many places seem to think it's acceptable.

      Potentially, but biggest hurdle is to check for combability of food stuffs witch after there issue of allergies etc. This will keep docs busy for years, since no data on long term effects. Then there is practical issues like getting ingredients to alien planet with out them being spoiled unless there is stasis storage or ship jump is pretty much instant, labor, business etc laws of alien planet and long list of things. Pretty sure paper pushing would prevent this kind of experimental restaurant and you would be royally fucked if something happened like mild allergic reaction. People always forget the practical hurdles that come with the territory and why having your own business even in already established set of frame is pain in the ass.

    • @jenniferbent5751
      @jenniferbent5751 3 роки тому

      Western culture has ruined tipping; it was originally used to say thanks for the good service, not to supplement wages. If you enjoyed it and wanted to thank the staff above the meal price then tip, if not then don't. It also existed in other industries, think bellboys and such. I work at a hotel front desk and I get tipped more often than you think; usually its just some change but it still happens.
