The Broken Yolk Cafe faces challenges from a significant rise in egg prices, now costing as much as $140 per case, nearly quadrupling in six months. With eggs comprising about 75% of their menu, the restaurant chain is exploring alternatives to passing costs onto diners. Unlike some competitors who have implemented egg surcharges, the Broken Yolk is focusing on diversifying its menu to include non-egg items such as pancakes and plant-based dishes, while also negotiating for lower costs on other supplies.
"Our price has almost quadrupled if you do the numbers," Powers said. "It is crazy."
Some chains, such as Waffle House and Denny's, have added a per-egg surcharge to offset the rising cost of eggs.
One solution is offering more menu items that don't contain eggs. Powers said some of Broken Yolk's most recent promotions include pancakes..."
As a result, restaurants and grocery stores have seen their costs increase - if they can get enough eggs to meet customer demand in the first place.
