How many people charge for drinks/food?

I saw this option in the game and am wondering how many people do this. Is it time realistic? Back in the day people would get dressed up for flights and everyone got food and drinks for free. I'm thinking that charging for this in the 70's would pretty much make you go under. Do people actually do this?

The drink/food prices aren't actually influenced by anything. I believe they give you some profit, but I'm not sure on how much it would be, and no-one really cares how high or low your prices are. It has no effect whatsoever on load factors, and maybe the effect on actual consumption isn't even coded.

food/drink prices do affect dop, they're not time weighted, and as soon as i figure out a good way to do so it'll affect demand in some minor way [but at present no impact].

they cost 1 euro each [yes, i'm uncreative in costing this at the moment], and the price you set affects consumption. food sales are all the misc revenues at the moment, and the cogs for it is a portion of misc expenses. if free, everyone is assumed to have on average one of each.

They don't make much difference early on but as your flight numbers build, they do return a little profit. I was makin a million a month before the reset (But that was after I added the 1049's to my airline)!

it does affect the DOP, I charged mine to 99.99 and my DOP went to -23 million :shock:

optimum is around 40

$40 a drink is optimum? Does it make a difference at this point in the game though?

For me it's worth 500k a month, so it makes a small difference

That's weird, AFAIK, that shouldn't happen.
