“Due to the nationwide egg shortage and increased cost of eggs, some of our restaurant locations will need to temporarily add a surcharge to every meal that incudes eggs,” the company said in a statement emailed to The Independent on Monday. “This pricing decision is market-by-market, and restaurant-by-restaurant due to the regional impacts of the egg shortage,” the South Carolina-based business wrote.
It’s unclear exactly how much the costs are going up in the impacted market. Company officials declined to provide specifics on the markets impacted. Denny’s said it would continue to look for ways to provide options for customers on its menu. “While we hope these price fluctuations will be short-lived, we cannot predict how long this shortage will last,” Waffle House wrote in a statement. “We are continuously monitoring egg prices and will adjust or remove the surcharge as market conditions allow.”.
