People have options, and it’s very easy to go somewhere else. If the food isn’t better the price and demand are going to be perfectly related. Every price hike matched by a corresponding drop in sales. Zero sum game.

Reading this comment made me realize that the competition will just copy the system because customers having options is not good for business.
