Food Prices To Increase In All House Eateries

As costs for foodstuffs have increased across the nation, so too have they increased for Restaurant Associates. Under the current contract, Restaurant Associates has the right to raise prices should the market rate for those prices increase. Prices have increased dramatically and so RA exercised their contractual option to raise theirs.

The average increase in price is approximately 10 percent.

Unfortunately, the House food operations are not immune to what everyone is experiencing in supermarkets throughout America. While most increases are slight and will be barely noticeable, other items are more affected by the rise in wholesale food prices and some consumers in our cafeterias will notice the increase, as they already have in grocery stores and restaurants all over the country.
