Waffle House, known for its role in gauging crisis impacts through the Waffle House Index, is adapting to the current egg crisis spurred by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. The outbreak has caused significant shortages and skyrocketed prices for eggs, impacting consumers and businesses alike. With shortages at grocery stores mimicking early COVID-19 panic, Florida's egg prices have surged. As a result, Waffle House announced a 50-cent increase per egg for its menu, reflecting broader supply chain issues and agricultural challenges seen nationwide.
The Waffle House Index serves as a barometer for determining restaurant operations during crises, and now it's reflecting the challenges posed by rising egg prices.
The highly pathogenic avian influenza has decimated bird populations, leading to significantly higher egg prices and shortages in grocery stores, a situation reminiscent of early pandemic panic.
