I believe there is a limit to what you sell and how much you can sell. There are only so many tables in the food court, not everyone eat yours. Considering 10-20% customer comes to the food court to eat your food is a healthy estimate figure.

Example:

Food court:
50 tables x 4 round per day (Morning, Lunch, Dinner and Supper) = 200 tables. (Do not include those tea time.)

200 tables x 3 person per table = 600 people. (Most people comes in 2 - 4) If your food court is near uni/college, you can put 4 people.

600 x 10% = 60 person.

60 person x RM 4 (average food) = RM 240.

RM 240 x 30 days = RM 7.2k

This serves as a guideline for you to estimate your sales figure. Please change the number to suit your needs.

I estimate based on food court. Do not include those which park their lorry beside the restaurant or others.

I noticed that most "Success" stories always revolve around food that are either easy to prepare at site or ready-made for delivery. E.g. Duck / Chicken Rice is always a popular success story. Noodles too as the soup based can be pre-made.

So they are no longer bound to restaurant capacity, not bound to time (to make the meal) and excellent food QC because they can have all the time to prepare at home or before peak hour (Its their choice to control their QC and not rushed by consumers)
