comparable store sales are a year-over-year comparison of sales at stores open at the end of the period that have been open for at least 18 months as of the beginning of each of the fiscal years . it is a key performance indicator used within the industry and is indicative of acceptance of our initiatives as well as local economic and consumer trends . our comparable store base consisted of 99 , 86 , and 76 stores as of the end of fiscal 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , respectively . new store openings . our ability to expand our business and reach new customers is influenced by the opening of additional stores in both new and existing markets . the success of our new stores is indicative of our brand appeal and the efficacy of our site selection and operating models . during fiscal 2019 , we opened sixteen new stores , eight of which were in new markets . 24 non-gaap financial measures in addition to the results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ( “ gaap ” ) , we provide non-gaap measures which present operating results on an adjusted basis . these are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with gaap and include adjusted ebitda , adjusted ebitda margin , store operating income before depreciation and amortization and store operating income before depreciation and amortization margin ( defined below ) . these non-gaap measures do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flows from operations , as determined in accordance with gaap , and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with gaap . although we use these non-gaap measures to assess the operating performance of our business , they have significant limitations as an analytical tool because they exclude certain material costs . for example , adjusted ebitda does not take into account a number of significant items , including our interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense . in addition , adjusted ebitda excludes pre-opening and other costs which may be important in analyzing our gaap results . because adjusted ebitda does not account for these expenses , its utility as a measure of our operating performance has material limitations . our calculations of adjusted ebitda adjust for these amounts because they vary from period to period and do not directly relate to the ongoing operations of the currently underlying business of our stores and therefore complicate comparison of the underlying business between periods . nevertheless , because of the limitations described above , management does not view adjusted ebitda or store operating income before depreciation and amortization in isolation and also uses other measures , such as revenues , gross margin , operating income and net income to measure operating performance . adjusted ebitda and adjusted ebitda margin . we define “ adjusted ebitda ” as net income plus interest expense , net , loss on debt refinancing , provision for income taxes , depreciation and amortization expense , loss on asset disposal , share-based compensation , pre-opening costs , currency transaction ( gains ) losses and other costs . “ adjusted ebitda margin ” is defined as adjusted ebitda divided by total revenues . adjusted ebitda is presented because we believe that it provides useful information to investors and analysts regarding our operating performance . by reporting adjusted ebitda , we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between current , past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance . store operating income before depreciation and amortization and store operating income before depreciation and amortization margin . we define “ store operating income before depreciation and amortization ” as operating income plus depreciation and amortization expense , general and administrative expenses and pre-opening costs . “ store operating income before depreciation and amortization margin ” is defined as store operating income before depreciation and amortization divided by total revenues . store operating income before depreciation and amortization margin allows us to evaluate operating performance of each store across stores of varying size and volume . we believe that store operating income before depreciation and amortization is another useful measure in evaluating our operating performance because it removes the impact of general and administrative expenses , which are not incurred at the store level , and the costs of opening new stores , which are non-recurring at the store level , and thereby enables the comparability of the operating performance of our stores for the periods presented . we also believe that store operating income before depreciation and amortization is a useful measure in evaluating our operating performance within the entertainment and dining industry because it permits the evaluation of store-level productivity , efficiency and performance , and we use store operating income before depreciation and amortization as a means of evaluating store financial performance compared with our competitors . however , because this measure excludes significant items such as general and administrative expenses and pre-opening costs , as well as our interest expense , net and depreciation and amortization expense , which are important in evaluating our consolidated financial performance from period to period , the value of this measure is limited as a measure of our consolidated financial performance . presentation of operating results the company 's fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the sunday after the saturday closest to january 31. each quarterly period has 13 weeks , except in a 53-week year when the fourth quarter has 14 weeks . fiscal 2019 and 2018 , which ended on february 2 , 2020 and february 3 , 2019 , respectively , each contained 52 weeks . story_separator_special_tag we have estimated the impact of the first week of fiscal 2017 to be $ 19,457. comparable store revenue decreased $ 15,250 or 1.6 % , in fiscal 2018 compared to the comparable fifty-two weeks of fiscal 2017. comparable store revenue compared to the prior fiscal year was , in part , negatively impacted by increased competitive pressure and sales transfers to new stores that we opened in markets where we operate . comparable walk-in revenues , which accounted for 89.7 % of comparable store revenue for fiscal 2018 , decreased $ 12,017 , or 1.4 % compared to the similar period in fiscal 2017. comparable store special events revenues , which accounted for 10.3 % of consolidated comparable store revenue for fiscal 2018 , decreased $ 3,233 , or 3.2 % compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2017. food sales at comparable stores decreased by $ 9,823 , or 3.5 % , to $ 274,262 for fiscal 2018 from $ 284,085 in the comparable period in fiscal 2017. beverage sales at comparable stores decreased by $ 4,858 , or 3.6 % , to $ 128,422 for fiscal 2018 from $ 133,280 in the 2017 comparison period . the decrease in food and beverage unit sales at comparable stores was partially offset by an overall increase in menu prices . comparable store amusement and other revenues in fiscal 2018 decreased by $ 569 , or 0.1 % , to $ 551,405 from $ 551,974 in the comparable fifty-two weeks of fiscal 2017. non-comparable store revenue increased by $ 163,250 for fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017. the increase in non-comparable store revenue was primarily driven by 815 additional operating store weeks contributed by our thirty-five non-comparable stores . the additional weeks exclude seven operating store weeks in fiscal 2017 , due to the shift described above . cost of products the total cost of products was $ 220,263 for fiscal 2018 and $ 196,672 for fiscal 2017. the total cost of products as a percentage of total revenues was 17.4 % and 17.3 % for fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 , respectively . for the year ended february 3 , 2019 , the cost of food products was 26.8 % of food revenue , the cost of beverage products was 24.2 % of beverage revenue , and the amusement and other cost of products was 11.1 % of amusement and other revenues . for the year ended february 4 , 2018 , the cost of food products was 26.6 % of food revenue , the cost of beverage products was 24.1 % of beverage revenue , and the amusement and other cost of products was 10.7 % of amusement and other revenues . cost of food and beverage products increased to $ 139,199 in fiscal 2018 compared to $ 127,600 for fiscal 2017 due primarily to the increased sales volume at our non-comparable stores . cost of food and beverage products , as a percentage of food and beverage revenues , increased 10 basis points to 25.9 % for fiscal 2018 from 25.8 % for fiscal 2017. higher meat costs resulting from our upgraded burger product , higher commodity costs in poultry coupled with additional weeks featuring our “ all you can eat ” wings promotion compared to fiscal 2017 as well as the impact of our larger non-comparable store group , were partially offset by increases in food and beverage prices . cost of amusement and other increased to $ 81,064 in fiscal 2018 compared to $ 69,072 in fiscal 2017. the costs of amusement and other , as a percentage of amusement and other revenues , increased 40 basis points to 11.1 % for fiscal 2018 from 10.7 % for fiscal 2017. the deterioration of amusement and other cost margins was driven primarily by higher provisions for use tax on redemption items in fiscal 2018 partially offset by the favorable margin impact of the year-over-year increase in game play of non-redemption amusement offerings . operating payroll and benefits total operating payroll and benefits increased by $ 40,200 , or 15.7 % , to $ 296,924 in fiscal 2018 compared to $ 256,724 in fiscal 2017. this increase was primarily due to labor associated with the additional operating store weeks of our non-comparable stores . the total cost of operating payroll and benefits , as a percentage of total revenues , increased 100 basis points to 23.5 % in fiscal 2018 compared to 22.5 % for fiscal 2017. this increase was due to an average hourly wage rate increase of approximately 4.5 % , incremental amusements labor related to our new proprietary virtual reality platform , higher store-level incentive compensation and payroll related benefits which increased approximately 30 basis points , and unfavorable leverage on decreased comparable store sales . 32 other store operating expenses other store operating expenses increased by $ 49,609 , or 14.8 % , to $ 384,155 in fiscal 2018 compared to $ 334,546 in fiscal 2017 , primarily due to new store openings . other store operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased 100 basis points to 30.4 % in fiscal 2018 compared to 29.4 % in fiscal 2017. this increase was due primarily to unfavorable leverage of our occupancy costs on decreased comparable store sales and increased margin pressure on occupancy costs associated with our recent store openings . general and administrative expenses general and administrative expenses increased by $ 1,956 , or 3.3 % , to $ 61,521 in fiscal 2018 compared to $ 59,565 in fiscal 2017. increases in labor and professional services costs were partially offset by the absence of a prior year $ 2,550 charge for litigation settlement costs and lower incremental compensation costs related to our share-based awards . general and administrative expenses , as a percentage of total revenues , decreased 30 basis points to 4.9 % in fiscal 2018 compared to 5.2 % in fiscal 2017 , for the same reasons above
