I've marked it up as much as 400% while managing the beverage part of an italian restaurant. Liquor and beer too.
To further edit: No one ever spat in food or did anything dirty other than sweat all over it. Its hot in a kitchen. The beverages were not ever diluted, and different alcohols were not mixed or substituted.
When I was behind the bar I would steal/make about $500 a night. The tables were all paying for my regulars and friends to drink because of the high prices. They would tip me ridiculously because their shit was free. If someone was wasted out of their mind and being a dick, I might steal their money by short changing them. I stole $97 from a drunk asshole once. I almost stabbed him with the bar knife.
