Watch the short documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i98Dmq7rMEk and consider your thoughts about the concept. Then comment on the video relating it Economics. Some suggestions to consider are:
Is this something you believe would work successfully anywhere in the country? Why or why not? What are the benefits or drawbacks of running a business such as this? After viewing the information, would you be willing to try something like this? Why or why not? How does this apply to what you've learned so far in economics? How do these restaurants stay in business? How is this related to "utility" for customers of these restaurants? Is there any food waste in these restaurants? Does location matter?
