Why The Price Of Food Is So Expensive In A High Class Restaurant

Many people will complain when they come to my restaurant and eat. They will for sure complain the price of the food. A slice of cheesecake costing around 3 pound each and many more. Each time they come, they will spend at least 100 pound for dinner. Why the prices are so expensive?? These are the reasons:

1) The Environment and The Set-Up

The environment of a high class restaurant is different from a normal class restaurant. The restaurant management department hire interior designers to design a environment that is suitable for all class of people. They use the highest quality of tables and chair so that customers can feel comfortable when dinning, the use different types of light to make a contrass in the surrounding, uses good quality floor tiles so that the floor can be easily cleaned when it is dirty. They prepare a very comfortable environment for the customers during their meals and even play some music. This to ensure that the customer has the highest satisfaction.

2) The Food

Chefs uses ingredients that are fresh and good quality in preparing a meal. Some food must be prepared with fresh food for example raw oyster. Oyster must be eaten fresh. There are also some imported ingredients from other countries like spices from India, beef from Australia and New Zealand. They are imported because these countries provide the finest quality of food. Customers need to pay for these ingredient, thus the food is expensive. Although it is expensive but it is worth it.

3) The Chefs

Some chefs in the restaurant is known for some of his famous food. For example, Thomas Keller is an outstanding chef and has won many awards. He is known for his French style cooking. He waste a lot of time mastering these skills and in the end he succeed. The food that he cooked comes from years of research. So many years of hard work just to find a way to cook a simple dish. So, if he charge a little bit higher, it is ok. Think of the time he spend on researching the ways of cooking. Just like a football player, the better you are, the higher your price is. Some chefs even have their own signature dish that can only be cooked by them.

These are three simple reasons why the food in a high class restaurant is so expensive comparee to a normal restaurant. The restaurant also wants to maintain their image and their customer, so they provide the finest food, services and the best environment for the satisfactory of customers. So, next time when you see your bill, please don't freak out, think back on the environment, food and the chefs.

Why Is Branded Items So Expensive??

You will think that branded items is so expensive and we cannot afford to buy. So we go to the market and buy "cheap and good" items. But have you ever think, why branded items are so expensive nowadays. The reasons are very simple:

1) Quality.

Branded items have very good quality. As an example, a good quality Reebok sports shoes may cost around 50-60 Pound. It is quite expensive but if you compare the quality, it is far better than those shoes in the market. One pair of those C&G (cheap and good) shoes may costs around 7 pound. It is twenty times cheaper than a Reebok shoes, but how long can it last?? Let's say it can last for three months, after that you have to change a new pair. But a quality shoes can last at least three years. Let's count, in three years, you waste 78 buying C&G shoes. Why don't buy a Reebok shoes which only costs 50 pound??

2) The cost of the raw material

The raw material of the branded item is already expensive. Form example, a titanium specs is not expensive because its brand, but its material to make that specs. The raw material itself is already expensive because it is high quality.

3) The cost to pay the designer.

A branded item has its own design. The design is like a trademark. People nowadays go for design that are different from others, so they hire designer to design for them. The designer waste a lot of time just to come up with a different design. If you were the designer, you waste about half a year just to come up with a design and your employer just give you a little pay. Do you want that to happen to you??

4) The cost for advertising and promoting.

Whenever a new item is released, the company sure do a lot of advertising in order to let the public know about there item. The company is going to include the advertising fees in the product. This will cause the product to become more expensive.

I think that is the main reasons why branded items is so expensive. Remember, the company will maintain its good image by selling good quality items, different designs and always advertise their new product. No doubt it is so expensive. We pay for the quality not the quantity.
