So you think every item on the Denny’s menu is at least a 25% profit margin for the company? It’s like 2.2% overall. They just let employees discount one meal per shift as a little bonus and incentive to work there, taking a small loss when they decide to use it

You’re confusing food yield with profit margins. I run PnLs for restaurant corporations, you think every time a company runs a 25% sale they operate on a EBITDA loss? A BoGo would bankrupt them lmao

A 25% likely doesn’t even show on their high discount reporting

I think if Denny’s reduced all their prices by 25%, they would no longer be profitable. You working at a restaurant doesn’t change my opinion on that

Some amount of shoplifting is “factored in” to retail businesses, but that doesn’t mean they want employees stealing from them. It’s not like it’s just free money with no consequence to anything

Ok, thanks for making the counterargument to something nobody is saying 

[u/harpswtf → u/[deleted]]

The initial point was that someone stated that even with this discount the company still made money on the transaction, which is not true given their margins. Please feel free to scroll up and read the thread, it’s not hidden

Nobody’s saying that except people pretending like employee theft isn’t theft if it’s less than the total net profit for the entire company for a year
