The rising cost of eggs is significantly impacting breakfast restaurants like Green Eggs Cafe, where 90% of menu items rely on this ingredient. Co-owner Stephen Slaughter highlighted how the price of a dozen eggs surged to $8, causing overall dish costs to double, eroding profit margins. This inflation trend isn't isolated to eggs; other ingredients like coffee and orange juice have also seen price increases due to climate factors and geopolitical issues. Slaughter aims to keep prices down, with the last price increase occurring in October 2023, facing ongoing challenges in a fluctuating economic landscape.
Co-owner Stephen Slaughter of Green Eggs Cafe notes that egg prices have skyrocketed, affecting the restaurant's margins significantly and complicating the fast, affordable breakfast concept.
Due to increasing costs, Slaughter states, "We're trying to do everything we can to not raise our prices," highlighting the challenges faced by breakfast restaurants amid inflation.
