Karen Huebner, owner of Hot Grillz Diner in Ohio, faced skyrocketing egg prices, driving her to increase omelet prices for the first time. The cost of eggs rose dramatically, making it financially unsustainable to keep prices low. As wholesale prices hit record highs, other restaurants, including Waffle House, announced similar surcharges for egg-based dishes. This shift reflects the broader impact of inflation on the restaurant industry, as establishments struggle to balance customer loyalty with rising operational costs.
My loyal customers would rather pay 50 cents more an egg right now than to see these doors close because I can't pay my rent.
Last week, Waffle House said it would add a temporary surcharge of 50 cents for each egg used in dishes.
