I think you can also look on the drinks parts. Bcoz on the low traditional place you earn 3$ for every dollar spent on drinks but on the high end place you earn less than 3$ for every dollar spent. As a usual practise a same drink will be higher at the high end end place compared to traditional place.
Also i think we might need to consider on the decor cost which would be a significant amt for high end place. Also for the traditional place in addition to delivery tieups may be we can add a quick take aways booth to in crease the sales.
Thank you all so much, I really enjoyed and learnt a lot from this Video. I am David S Jumu from Sierra Leone. I will appreciate it if you do another video for International students applying for an On-campus
I had a question specifically about extracurricular activities and school groups. What are some extracurriculars or school groups that give you a higher chance of getting into a deferred program? Additionally, within these school groups, is it more advantageous to start your own group or lead an existing one? Does the size of the group, such as the number of students led, play a role in the selection process for deferred programs? It would be great if you could also make a more detailed video about this and share your personal experiences and activities that contributed to your acceptance into the GSB deferred program.
