I do wonder if FG could maintain profits if they cheapened their food cost and drove more volume to their stores? They'll never be pure fast food (and that's a good thing/distinction), but I do wonder if they couldn't just get more volume to make up for lower prices (not lower quality ingredients, I mean, but just lower prices)...
If they're maintaining a profit, why should they lower their prices? Other similar chains like Shake Shack also charge very high prices for a fast casual meal and they're also doing just fine.

What are your taxes?
~$6.29 is the price for a hot dog, in my area.
In other words, even a grilled cheese, little fries and a regular soda WILL put you over the $12.75 reimbursement limit in my area...... In one of my locations nearby, even the veggie sandwich gets you over the reimbursement limit.
