here is the scoop, Rizzo. as cobraboy assures, you cannot depend on tourists for revenue. that leaves the local crowd. this is not a land of gourmands.for you to make anything that is so good it will attract Dominicans away from the bandera, it is going to require a little more inputs than rice and beans. simple example. in the USA, a guy like Famous Amos made big money with his chocolate chip cookies. you could not do that here. a regular Dominican cookie of a certain size might retail for 5 pesos. if you make a really good one, with nuts and stuff, they still only want to pay 5 pesos, because it is not BIGGER than the normal ones. same for a hamburger. you might use good quality ground beef, and produce a high quality offering. they still want to pay 30 pesos, because they can get one off the street cart for that price. get the idea? forget about ?good drinks?. you are not going to sell more than one ?sex on the beach ?per month.
