Eateries across the country are raising prices after soaring inflation sees ingredients costs DOUBLE in just one year
2021-06-01
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] A perfect storm of rising oil costs, supply chain issues and labor shortages is driving some restaurants to put prices up

  • Alan Natkiel, owner of New Hampshire restaurant Georgia's Northside, said costs had spiked in the last 3 months, forcing him to put up prices

  • He said the cost of brisket has gone up 185%, chicken breast is up 70%, and fryer oil costs have doubled in the past three months

  • National chains such as IHOP and Applebee's say their costs have also shot up, and may be forced to pass that on to consumers

  • Inflation rose 4.2% in the last 12 months, its highest rate since 2008
I think I commented at the time that if there's $1.22 trillion in circulation, and you add another $1.9 trillion, that's 160 percent inflation by definition. It's a lesson Bob Mugabe never caught on to.

#6  A perfect storm of rising oil costs, supply chain issues and labor shortages is driving some restaurants to put prices up.

Also known as the government response to COVID.

Unexpectedly.

Need to educate people, this is not so much costs going up - which was/is because of government regulations, but value of the Dollar going down. Both instances is Government Meddling.

#5  Several restaurants I frequent have reduced hours or gone to take-out only because they can't get workers.

#2  Supply chain issues as well in every industry. Eateries also have had to change menus because of product availability issues. Help issues also a major problem.
