The first 2 deal with location and can be instant cash makers with the right
spot and reasonably cheap food. If you can get the customer seated and with
food in 15 mins, it works. Breakfast/Lunch folks do not have time to wait
longer. You will lose to a greasy spoon with poor food that can fit their
time allowance if you can't be fast.

Most blue collar workers get max 1 hour lunch. If you are a 15 min drive,
you will at most see a group pickup for the rest. Price point is if they
can't get a meal for 5$ total, they will drive to McDonalds.
