Before I start this rant I do want to preface that I have stated unequivocally I don’t think this was a good solution and it’s not what I would do for my business. With that stated…
Update the prices to what? And by what method? We’re talking about a small business. Are you paying a line cook to sit down and sharpie over 500 pages of menus?
Maybe one of the busboys wants to speculate on orange futures and the hostess has an inside line on poultry yields?
Aluminum mills don’t know what aluminum is going to cost next week and they make the fucking aluminum. I assure you the owners abuela who does the books, does not know how to appropriately price salmon in this market.
If they’re only marking their shit up 5% in this economy they are taking a shellacking.
And again I don’t think this was a good business decision. I just understand how you get there.

They’re going to have to reprint the menu anyway when the price of the item goes up and they want to charge 6%
