Please take a business course!
It isn't as simple as marking up or to charge what your comp. is charging.
You must take these things in to account:
food costs
wages
insurance
permits
advertising
rent
gas/electric/phone
business tax
smallwares
equipment payments/leasing
and any other expense you will occur.
