Now, over three years later, the restaurant industry is back. In the early days of the pandemic, people got used to eating their restaurant food at home. Too many jobs, too few workersEarly in the pandemic, many restaurant workers got laid off. Now, over three years since the pandemic hit the US, some restaurant jobs remain unfilled. But many of these have at the same time vehemently opposed proposed legislation that could raise the minimum wage for fast food workers.

Subway India is now charging extra for a cheese slice
  + stars: | 2023-08-11 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
Reuters —Subway sandwiches in India will no longer come with the option of a free cheese slice following revisions to its menu that analysts say are more about cost-cutting than just a matter of taste. They now charge 30 rupees ($0.40) extra for the cheese slice in most sandwiches, but are offering a free “cheezy” sauce instead. Subway has “replaced the cheese slice with liquid cheese blend … You just lost a loyal customer,” one unimpressed customer, Sumit Arora, wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. A Subway store manager in New Delhi told Reuters the new cheese sauce costs 400 rupees per kilogram. If a customer adds the cheese slice — which was once free — it will now cost up to 15% more.

Quarterly comparable sales at KFC jumped 13% and topped estimates for an 8.29% growth, as options like the 2-for-$5 fried chicken wrap and launches including chicken nuggets pulled in lower-income consumers struggling with high food prices. [1/2]A Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) bucket of mixed fried and grilled chicken is seen in this picture illustration taken April 6, 2017. Yum Brands' revenue rose 3% to $1.69 billion but fell short of estimates of $1.75 billion, largely due to weaker-than-expected sales at Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. Excluding items, Yum Brands earned $1.41 per share, above estimates of $1.24.

In a proposed class action filed on Monday in Brooklyn federal court, Siragusa accused Taco Bell of deceiving consumers by falsely advertising its Mexican Pizza, Veggie Mexican Pizza, Crunchwrap Supreme, Grande Crunchwrap and Vegan Crunchwrap as containing "at least double" their actual content. He is not alleging that the items contain less content than Taco Bell describes on its website. Taco Bell, a unit of Yum Brands (YUM.N), did not immediately respond to requests for comment. "Taco Bell does not adequately disclose the weight of the beef or filling," Russo said in an email. The case is Siragusa v Taco Bell Corp, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, No.

Morning Bid: Soft landing swings into view
  + stars: | 2023-07-27 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
After Wednesday's 25 basis point hike, markets seem to think so. Traders in Asia cheered a glimpse of the fabled soft landing with Jerome Powell saying the Fed no longer expects a U.S. recession. Stocks rose and the dollar fell across the board. The Bank of Japan is then up on Friday, with perhaps the most unpredictable central bank decision of the week. European futures rose 0.3% and U.S. futures also added 0.3%.

July 27 (Reuters) - McDonald's (MCD.N) beat market expectations for quarterly comparable sales on Thursday, as the restaurant chain's relatively cheaper burgers and fries attracted cost-conscious diners in an inflationary environment. While U.S. restaurant chains including McDonald's have had to raise prices to offset a hit to profit from higher costs, the company has still managed to keep its prices lower than its competitors. Those moves, coupled with improved staffing levels at its chains, have helped McDonald's gain market share from its peers. In contrast, overall traffic at fast-food and quick-service chains climbed just 1.2% in the same period. Easing costs of key ingredients including chicken, cheese and pork have also helped McDonald's, whose total restaurant margins in the United States climbed 12% in the quarter.

Good Luck, an Ikea copycat, joins the ranks of rebranded dupes of many western chains in Russia. And now, a store called Good Luck has opened in Moscow as an Ikea copycat. "The departure of Ikea is not a reason to abandon the usual interior design," Good Luck writes on its website. There are no suppliers for bathroom and kitchen items yet, employees at the store told the Moscow Times. Vlad Karkov/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesConvincing Ikea dupe or not, Good Luck already has ambitious plans for expansion, it says.

Customers can either order ahead via the Chick-fil-A app and then receive their meals at one of two lanes dedicated for mobile orders or order as usual through a regular drive-thru lane. The pick-up location is just that: Customers order ahead and then walk into the store to pick up their orders. Speedy service is key for fast food restaurants, especially at the drive-thru, where a long line or a bad experience can scare off customers. Taco Bell has also been testing out drive-thru locations with second-story kitchens, delivering tacos to drive-thru customers via a “vertical lift.”Chick-fil-A tends to earn top marks for its drive-thru, and for its service in general. In a drive-thru survey last year in which Chick-fil-A, along with Carl’s Jr., earned the top spot for satisfaction with service, the chicken chain failed to make the top five for order accuracy.

In the United States, sales at McDonald’s locations open for at least 13 months jumped 10.3% in the quarter ending on June 30. Grimace’s birthday, and the kickoff date for the special meal and shake McDonald’s offered to celebrate, was on June 12. When McDonald’s introduced the special products for Grimace in early June, it wasn’t all about the shake. The Grimace Birthday Meal also came with McNuggets or a Big Mac and fries. “Grimace is the perfect lovable icon to have McDonald’s meet our fans at the intersection of nostalgia and culture.”But in TikTok videos where people wish Grimace a happy birthday before sampling the shake, Grimace is not presented as a lovable icon.

London CNN —When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, a slew of Western companies left in protest. Companies now find themselves caught between Western sanctions and public outrage on the one hand, and an increasingly hostile Russian government on the other. The Kremlin is making it more difficult for Western firms to sell their Russian assets — and imposing steep discounts and punitive taxes when they do. Both companies had been finalizing sales to local buyers when President Vladimir Putin signed an order nationalizing their local assets earlier this month. Spurred by sweeping Western sanctions, oil companies, automakers, technology firms, consultancies and banks led the initial wave of departures.

July 24 (Reuters) - Domino's Pizza (DPZ.N) missed Wall Street estimates for second-quarter revenue on Monday, as elevated delivery fees and higher prices to boost margins hurt demand for its pizzas and chicken wings. Shares of the world's largest pizza chain dropped 4% in premarket trading as Domino's said it saw lower order volumes during the quarter. Higher labor and raw material costs have forced restaurant chains, even the biggest names including McDonald's (MCD.N), to jack up menu prices and delivery fees, which hurt cost-conscious consumers whose budgets are already squeezed by sticky inflation. Domino's U.S. same-store sales rose 0.1% in the second quarter, compared with analysts' estimates of an about 0.2% increase. Domino's total revenue fell 3.8% to $1.02 billion in the three months ended June 18, compared with analysts' estimate of $1.07 billion, according to Refinitiv IBES data.

Analyst Jake Bartlett raised his price target on McDonald's, which he rates a buy, to $335 from $327 previously. A highlight of the meal for customers — and a centerpiece of a social media craze — was a purple-colored, berry-flavored milkshake. To be sure, Bartlett said Truist data shows multiple other chains talso beating expectations for sales in the latest quarter amid surging demand. Of eight chains, data shows just two — Wendy's and Chipotle — could see slight misses on sales forecasts, he wrote.

July 13 (Reuters) - Carlyle Group Inc (CG.O) and Trustar Capital are planning to raise $4 billion from wealth funds to buy part of their stakes in McDonald's Corp (MCD.N) operations in Hong Kong and mainland China, Bloomberg News reported. All stakeholders are highly aligned on the process," McDonald's China said in an emailed response to Reuters on Thursday. The asset managers aim to reach an agreement with investors in the fourth quarter of this year, the report added. Carlyle declined to comment, while GIC did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Reuters had reported in April citing two people with knowledge of the matter that the U.S.-based private equity firm was discussing various options including setting up a continuation fund with financial advisers for its stake in McDonald's China.

New Delhi CNN —From butter chicken to paneer makhani, Indian cuisine is unthinkable without the ubiquitous tomato. Asha, a homemaker in the capital who asked to be referred to only by her first name, told CNN the increase has hit her seven-member family hard. Some of McDonald’s (MCD) restaurants across the country have temporarily stopped serving tomatoes on their burgers, citing quality issues and shortages of supply. Of the tomatoes that were harvested, over 90% were infected by seed-born viruses, Gadve told CNN, which further exacerbated the supply shortage. Devinder Sharma, an India-based agriculture policy expert, told CNN the current shortage was also caused in part by farmers throwing away their tomatoes because no one was buying them.

The chain confirmed that its McCafé bakery lineup, consisting of an apple fritter, blueberry muffin and cinnamon roll, is being phased out beginning this month. McDonald’s (MCD) rolled out the bakery lineup in October 2020, marking the first time in roughly a decade that it sold new bakery items. However, breakfast sales at McDonald’s rebounded in recent quarters as people return to the office and people resume their pre-Covid routines. Discontinuing the bakery lineup comes as McDonald’s recently expanded a partnership with Krispy Kreme to sell donuts at nearly 200 locations in Kentucky. For McDonald’s, the partnership looked to attract new customers in the morning when business has remained steady.

The government blames the higher prices of tomatoes on a lean production season when monsoon rains disrupt transport and distribution, but it comes after consumers have battled higher prices of items ranging from milk to spices in recent months. "Despite our best efforts, we are not able to get adequate quantities of tomatoes which pass our stringent quality checks," read notices posted in two McDonald's stores in New Delhi, the capital. The problem was seasonal and forced 10% to 15% of its stores to stop serving tomatoes temporarily, it said. McDonald's Delhi stores still offer sachets of tomato ketchup, however, and a nearby Subway restaurant said there were no issues serving tomatoes. "Tomato prices running high?

A U.S. Supreme Court ruling against President Joe Biden’s student loan forbearance erases as much as $20,000 in potential relief for graduates. Combined with the resumption of debt payments, borrowers will be feeling the pinch in their wallets and their confidence. Had Biden’s policy covered $10,000 of their debt, the typical monthly payment would have shrunk by about a quarter. If the Supreme Court had supported the relief, it also risked stoking inflation just as it slides to a healthier level. CONTEXT NEWSThe U.S. Supreme Court on June 30 ruled 6-3 against President Joe Biden’s plan to forgive student loan debt for some 43 million borrowers.

A U.S. Supreme Court ruling against President Joe Biden’s student loan forbearance erases as much as $20,000 in potential relief for graduates. Combined with the resumption of debt payments, borrowers will be feeling the pinch in their wallets and their confidence. The court said on Friday that a plan to wipe out swathes of student loans was unconstitutional, ending hopes of an easier financial future for some 43 million borrowers. If the Supreme Court had supported the relief, it also risked stoking inflation just as it slides to a healthier level. The proposal aimed to relieve $10,000 of student loans for individuals earning less than $125,000 annually, and an additional $10,000 for eligible borrowers who received Pell Grant subsidies.
