What’s going on with egg prices?
This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Ricky Richardson, the CEO of the breakfast-and-lunch franchise Eggs Up Grill.
We wanted to talk to Ricky because he recently posted about a decision his franchisees made in reaction to egg prices.
Egg prices have hit record highs this year because of an outbreak of avian influenza, which has caused poultry farmers to get rid of much of their flocks, dropping supply. Because of the high costs, some chains such as Waffle House and Denny’s have instituted egg surcharges.
Richardson explains just how big a deal these price increases are to the company’s franchisees and how the company and operators are dealing with them. We also talk about surcharges and the impact on customers.
And we spend some time talking about Eggs Up and the breakfast-and-lunch category, quietly one of the hottest categories for years.
We’re talking about eggs on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.
