The Short Menu Wants to Put the Receipt on the Tray
A proposed fast-food counter with nine items, one price at every table, and each dish’s cost-to-make printed beside its selling price.
Field notes
The proposed menu separates customer price from cost to make, with figures checked against an invoice rather than a promotional brochure. Its nine listed items include a $0.35 cost for fries, a $0.15 cost for cola, and free water with a stated $0.02 cost. A nugget comparison asks visitors to move from the five listed kitchen ingredients toward the much larger ingredient count associated with conventional fast food. The page explicitly says the physical counter does not exist yet.
