…Can you talk about the average ticket price for each of these three concepts? Burger fries are $14. We have designed this thing not to make money. I don't think there's anything unethical about making money at this time. In a certain sense, we have a duty to do so. Mostly as a means of protecting the staff and to be clear, we're only four days in. I don't know if we are that's to say. The bagel concept clearly does not make money. It's labor-intensive.
