Based on the article, “That Dinner Tab has soared. Here are the reasons…” by New York Times. After the pandemic inflation had a huge impact on everything, which included restaurants, retail stores, grocery stores, etc. Even regular utilizes that are within the restaurant industry, the prices had skyrocketed up and stayed there, if anything they are just going to keep going up. All the prices that skyrocket came in a domino effect as explained in the article, since there is a shortage of workers, then there’s even fewer workers in the industry behind that one and so on. The same way everything went up, so did the food prices, drastically if I may add, a dish that may have been on the menu before the pandemic may have been in the single digits are now in the double digits. Which I totally stand by, in my opinion, I think all the changes and prices have been justified. I think that because if you don’t raise your prices up either, there is no way you could stay open, you’re basically getting no profit out of it and if that’s the case then you will eventually have to close up your business. Although, I do suggest to make sure that whatever you are charging your customers is worth it.
