Sure menu price inflation since January 2020 is just marginally above grocery store inflation as shown at the chart at top. However, consumers have short memories, as do I as I get older. For those keeping score, and you know I got you, menu price inflation since January 2023 is up almost 7 times grocery store inflation. Cue Janet Jackson...."What have you done for me lately." ![](https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4E12AQGzgxyrIUPERQ/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/article-cover_image-shrink_720_1280/0/1727289062525?e=1732752000&v=beta&t=EXlzIBPLKmiQEkfvHqVE8IgEiMObaFJK27Z5im9cFEc) Want to learn how Datum FS can help you anticipate commodity volatility?
