But each customer would only get a single free dish, right? Until they come to your restaurant with another car?

I suppose it would be even more profitable if you served the free food in a room with a lot of loud and annoying people that is also never cleaned, then stop serving any new food and instead offer paid access to the gold-plated second restaurant that will soon serve a lot of new and exciting dishes, providing the volunteers stick around. There is some other restaurant which provides free access to all its recipes, I suppose you can just mix them with your regular recipes and save a lot of work.

After that, you can stop working on the food and invest some years into developing a more technologically advanced version of serving the same old food, perhaps using knowledge from some other big restaurant chain. Your volunteers are going to take care of the food-making until you are done with that.

If that does not work out, you can always rent out the back rooms to kids who want to run their own restaurants.

Just make sure to have some more volunteers run around and tell everybody not to steal ingredients, and what they are allowed to cook and what not. And have some bouncers to get rid of people who complain about the food. You can have them mark the customer's cars so you know who to not let in anymore.


Man, I am having way too much fun with analogies.
