Wendy's plots new 'Uber surge-style' menu where prices jump up and down in line with demand - so when will be the cheapest (and costliest) time to eat?

Burgers will do anything to avoid learning to cook.

"We keep making Doordash more expensive and worse quality but people won't stop buying it. How can we bleed these whales for even more money?"

It's an interesting concept, but I feel like it will be extremely difficult to implement.

After all, aren't most Wendy's franchised? Good luck getting them to agree to this lol

Stupid way to market it.

You have to make people think they're getting a deal. Tell them you have a discount if they come in during off peak hours. Then slowly raise the price the rest of the day until the "discount" price is the old normal price.

That will mean it will be able to change prices in real time and at little to no expense

or just do what some of these restaurants do and don't have the price anywhere. It's not until you get to the checkout that you know how much it all cost.

I am never paying surge pricing on fast food, you can't make me

Can I buy Wendy's hamburger futures?

But I time my goyslop eating to when they have warm food. Why would I eat a cold heat lamp meal to save a measly $1🤔

Uber dynamic pricing is good for two reasons:

1. When lots of people want rides it encourages drivers to come out and supply more rides.

2. Without dynamic pricing, the cost of riding is (1) the price you pay and (2) the time you waste waiting. (1) is a transfer, (2) is pure value destruction. Dynamic pricing converts waiting time into paying more, which is good from a welfare perspective (burning less time). However, if you're poor, you dislike converting waiting into $ because your time isn't valuable but your cash is.

Fast food dynamic pricing is basically only gives you the second one, which is fine, but it's going to piss off poor people, which is a good reason to do it in my book.

as long as a $5 biggie bag costs $5 i don't care if they wanna make a daves single $15

the wendys near my house is literally always empty so maybe itll always be cheaper

Neighbor just get the $5 biggie bag. Plenty of food there if you arent a butter golem

Wendy's fricking sucks. Only thing worse is Carl's Jr

Wendy's is disgusting, I wouldn't eat there if they gave it away for free.

Can't wait till all consumer goods are treated like traded commodities. Burger subscriptions tied to the BIGMAC Daily index + .001. You'll be buying off-peak burgers in hourly strips like power, and during rush hour you get hit with those peak prices. You thought you'd be smart and sell tomorrow's burgers at day ahead prices and buy at real time but Oops, a fryer just went out, now the real time price of burgers is $2600.
