[QUOTE="Zhure, post: 90130, member: 308"] McMurlynd's will generate a rash of competitors, using similar tactics. To retain it's edge, McMurlynd's has to expand either horizontally or vertically. One way would be to develop a prestidigitation cantrip wand (50 charges, 187.5 gp to make, or 3.75 gp per use). This would allow the mush to be flavored for one hour to any taste the consumer desires. If the McMurlynd's is open for 24 hours a day (necessary in a highly urbanized environment), it has an increase of overhead of 90 gp, assuming continual use of the cantrip wand by an apprentice. This also increases the cost dramatically as it requires a skilled laborer (Sorc 1, Wizard 1, Cleric [magic] 1, or a higher level Rogue, Bard or Psychic Warrior with a specialized Use Magic Device)... or three such in three eight-hour shifts. Another way to increase competition would be to employ Clerics of 5th level or higher, each one making 3 meals per day in ten minutes time. The time of employ is lower than using the prestidigitation wand above, but the level of the user is subsequently much higher. This would probably raise the cost so much, it becomes impractical to provide adequate return on the investment for McMurlynds. My final suggestion would be mundane spices. Shakers of flavoring could be kept around McMyrlynd's back room. The proprieter merely need shake some flavor packet into the mush, swish it around with a whisk, and voila, a Ramen-noodle like mush, or something frighteningly akin to a modern day malt.
