is that 55 for 1 wafle and 1x pancakes and 1 water? lmao
Loving that what basically amounts to a banana if you are lucky is 6 euros 😂 did they bend you over the table and take you roughly from behind 🤷🏻♂️
Waffles are always a tourist trap, I don’t know anyone who actually eats them or eats them with anything other than some bloemsuiker and maybe slagroom.
It’s a banana Michael, what could it cost? 6€?
Then they are surprised people don’t go to any Horeca anymore.
Just eating at home to avoid traps and useless expensive dinners.
Wafel/pannenkoek, met aardbeien erbij, met banaan erbij, met een bol vanille erbij, met chocolade erbij, met slagroom erbij. Klinkt als een combo van 4 desserts
Straight to jail!
The owner of that establishment should be ashamed and that tourist should be in jail for putting so much crap on a Liège waffle…
Ala daar Donkere chocolade, aardbei en banaan in het Nederlands staat waarom is de suiker dan in het engels? Dit stoort m8j onredelijk veel
I don’t know why you’re posting this… you go out and have something to eat without checking the menu/prices?
Imho you’re just so stupid you’re asking to get ripped off…
They better gave them 2 full cartons of strawberries and 2 full bunches of bananas

They should change their name from t-w-f to w-t-f (or maybe f-t-w for them). 1,2/5 on tripadvisor! [tripadvisor.fr](https://www.tripadvisor.fr/Restaurant_Review-g188664-d25554696-Reviews-The_Waffle_Factory_Korte_Munt-East_Flanders_Province_Flanders.html?m=17457)
Being a freelancer I learned a long time ago that there is no such thing as a ridiculous price, only ridiculous customers and smart sellers.
wtf that’s criminal

4. Strategic or Hidden Costs
These are not visible on an invoice per pancake but influence overall pricing.

• Table occupancy time (especially high in small venues in tourist zones)
• Staff idling between service peaks
Waste and Spoilage:
• Unsold food
• Mistakes or returns
• Daily stock shrinkage
Payment Processing Fees:
• Card transaction costs
• Mobile payment systems
• Currency conversion fees (for tourists)
Taxes:
• VAT (commonly 6–21% depending on country)

The joke is on the tourists who pay this, if they don’t buy this way too expensive food, problem is solved.
