Profit margins for restaurants are typically in the single digits, so the company almost definitely lost money after the discount. A $25 tip for a $50 meal at Denny’s is a lot more than “decent”

Dennys has bigger margins than you think. In fact it seems you never worked at a dennys or know anything about dennys

Gross profit margin =\= food profit margin

the 2.2% figure is net profit, not gross.
