  3. Well post-covid we had huge energy price swings and on top of that, due to indexation wages increased 11% in one year. Most restaurants don’t even have that kind of profit margin. So this is not a surprise.

    Also, people used to drink a lot more of alcohol where restaurants would have relatively good margins and that could compensate for the food prices, but that buffer is also slimming.

  4. And yet, people still go out to eat often. Restaurants are busy enough. So apparently, the problem isn’t that big after all.

  5. I have a weird gift for remembering grocery prices, and most have risen at least 25%… except for cheddar cheese, that has decreased.
