  1. You made the economy of scale argument then you missed the whole economy of scale point in your answer, if you need to make $1000 a day to be profitable in the US you might need to sell 100 meals that means a meal that cost $10 needs $10 added on to it to become a $20 meal, where as I'd your selling 1000 meals you might only need to add $1 per meal to be profitable in Asia making that meal $11 making the same amount of money by selling more means the food is cheaper overall means more people eating out which means even larger economy of scale, which is why even poorer people in Asia can eat out in sit down restaurants even the people who work at restaurants
