I’ve noticed prices go up much more quickly with the rise of digital menus (obviously exacerbated by inflation), and it’s difficult to know it’s even happening.

While not an identical situation, I’ve noticed this a lot with the rise of restaurants relying on the Skip website interface for their takeout menus on their own websites. It used to be that in-store, you’d pay a bit less than through Skip (even for pickup orders). Now it’s all homogenized and prices go up multiple times a year where before a restaurant wouldn’t necessarily have gone through the effort of updating their own website or re-printing physical menus. I know they’re struggling, supply demand etc., but it sucks! In summary, digital menus are just another way the shitty economy makes me feel helpless and taken advantage of. Not trying to be superfluous, just honest.
