Well you forgot to factor in the CEO pay and “line go up” requirement, so clearly you’re not a finance bro!

1 Lb beef : $10.00 20 ea Tortilla: $7.00 Garlic 1oz: $1.00 Cumin: $1.00 Oil 2 oz: $2.00 Cheese: $6.00 Sour cream 10 oz: $3.00
Total: $30 For Ea 20
$1.50 is that floor for a good one of these. Bulk pricing and cheap labor could make this price possible. I think 3 is what a person might pay. PS not a chef, not a finance person.

Individual stores don’t make much, it’s just that there’s a shitload of them (7,877) funneling franchise and advertising fees to the top.
The Taco Bell franchise cost can be significant, between $575,600 – $3,370,100.
an average Taco Bell owner can make an average of $80,000 – $90,000 a year
That ain’t jack. I made $83K at my last job sitting on my ass WFH.
Take ALL the CEO’s pay, $3,784,756, smear that out across every employee (175,000), they’d get a lousy $22 Christmas bonus. CEO pay ain’t the problem, it’s just a convenient and visible target.

No, their rampant greed and constant funneling is part of the problem absolutely and completely. Besides, this specific person is hardly a prime example of a grossly overpaid CEO when many are taking home much more than 3 mil. They’re still responsible for the structure that funnels all that money upwards.

Important to note that restaurants don’t pay grocery store prices. I worked at a shop a couple decades ago that decided they had to grab ingredients at a grocery store due to Sysco stiffing them on some stock, and long story short no money was made that day.
