Want to Get Rich? Start a Pancake Restaurant!

Has it always been your dream to start a lavish restaurant? To pamper guests with a four-course menu and provide them with matching wine advice? Don’t! Anyone who really wants to get rich should start a pancake restaurant.

Just think about it. A pancake consists of nothing more than milk, flour and eggs. The cost per pancake may be €0.25, while you can easily sell a plain pancake for €7.00. You can add another euro or two for each topping, while a few slices of apple, cheese or bacon cost virtually nothing either. Do the math on your profits!

Prices marked up 1,000 times and hardly any purchasing costs—what more could anyone want? Flour never spoils either, so you can buy that in bulk. The worst that can happen is that you might have to walk to the supermarket once more for a carton of milk. But by now you’ll have so much money that you can simply pay someone to do that for you.

Everyone’s happy

Besides lining your own pockets, you’ll also make everyone happy. How intensely happy were you as a child when you were allowed to order such an enormous pancake? Add the sugar rush from the syrup, and your child has never been so ecstatic. And come on, even if you normally dine at Michelin-starred restaurants as a parent, you secretly get happy from an old-fashioned pancake too, don’t you?
