Waffle House has implemented a 50-cent surcharge on each egg due to soaring egg prices attributed to ongoing avian influenza outbreaks among chickens. The surcharge is a temporary measure aimed at mitigating cost increases without raising overall menu prices. The restaurant chain emphasized that this decision was taken in light of unprecedented rises in egg costs, which have surged from $1.79 to $4.15 per dozen in just two years. Waffle House remains uncertain about the duration of these price fluctuations, hoping they will not persist.
