Waffle House has announced a temporary surcharge of 50 cents per egg to cope with escalating egg prices exacerbated by an avian flu outbreak. The chain strives to avoid a full menu price increase, attributing the surge to shortages from bird flu and inflation. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics indicates egg prices have skyrocketed, with a dozen now costing $5.29. In light of these conditions, Waffle House is monitoring the situation to potentially lift the surcharge, reflecting the challenges faced by both consumers and restaurants.
The continuing egg shortage caused by HPAI (bird flu) has caused a dramatic increase in egg prices. Rather than increasing prices across the menu, this is a temporary targeted surcharge tied to the unprecedented rise in egg prices.
Customers and restaurants are being forced to make difficult decisions. We are continuously monitoring egg prices and will adjust or remove the surcharge as market conditions allow.
