Napkin math:

One million Euro a year gross would imply more or less 3000 Euro a day. Open for 12 hours a day, that's 250 Euro an hour. At 15 Euro a crepe, that's a customer every 4 minutes the whole day. That would be a truly phenomenal success.

And that's gross. If you assume 50% margin on cost (insanely high) and that cost includes the apparently very high employee salaries. Then they need a customer every two minutes for the day. Let's say taxes take half of their net before taxes. they now need a customer every minute for 12 hours every day of the year to hit a million Euro net. All under a series of assumptions that are extremely generous to the firm.

It's hard to imagine that this story, if true, didn't involve an embellishment of scale.
