Btw sihhi about the markup. I think food costs are usually from memory around 30%. Other costs include wages, utilities, taxes, don't know what else. Could be different to 30%, it is fairly low I think.

tempting to send in a spoof application - "I enjoy being ordered about and hope one day to wipe away the toast-crumbs of a master-strategist like John Rees".
