These could not sustain the business alone, but the other offerings at regular prices do.-- dentworth, Jul 27 2007 No one buys collages, that's why students of collage are so poor.-- phundug, Jul 27 2007 Imagine an entire campus devoted to collage. I'd major in paper mache'.-- normzone, Jul 27 2007 I didn't notice the error ><-- pwn3d, Jul 29 2007 Or did you mean a special campus serving lots of different colleges?-- marklar, Jul 29 2007 Baked, just about every café serves cheap food. Since I went wheat free 4 years ago there is no cheap (low quality and low nutrition ) foods for me. Wheat = Cheap = low nutrition Fishbone has more calcium than croissant :)-- Pellepeloton, Jul 30 2007 What [Galbinus_Caeli] said - if it's economic to do this then it will already be done; if it's not economic to do it, then it's not going to happen (and the students will have to dull their hunger pangs by sniffing the collage glue).-- hippo, Jul 30 2007 The title looks like the name of a strange thriller sci-fi-action flick. Like "Burger and Fries: The Reckoning."-- k_sra, Jul 30 2007 Maybe French fries sold by the piece - 5¢ each.-- phundug, Jul 30 2007 It's always going to be cheaper to make your own food from supermarket-bought ingredients. You'd think college students would be smart enough to realise this.-- Texticle, Jul 30 2007 Collage students let vegetables rot. Not monetarily efficient. You still have to shop smart to save money, text.-- k_sra, Jul 31 2007 Food is cheap already, staff and property are not. You can only reduce the cost of the product by cheaper staff (soup kitchen) or cheaper rent (build in the desert).-- wagster, Jul 31 2007 To reduce staffing costs, let the customers do the work: cook for one hour, eat for free. And to reduce property costs, set these outfits up in people's own homes. They could also do the purchasing of the ingredients, reducing those costs further. Use really tacky-looking equipment and call them Kitsch Inns.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jul 31 2007 I always thought this would be a good idea when I was in college - then I realized hoiw expensive it is to run any kind of restaurant.
//cook for one hour, eat for free//
If you're willing to wash dishes for an hour, a lot of restaurants will feed you. Better to make the deal in advance, though.
Pizza places will sometimes give you a couple of pies if you'll deliver during the evening rush (and you get tips, too).
You usually get a lot more food than you could buy with the money if you were just paid straight up.-- nomocrow, Aug 01 2007 random, halfbakery
