Customers have complained of price increases at fast-food chains amid inflation.
According to a recent study surveying American consumers on fast-food prices, a burger chain came out on top for having the most overpriced menu. The study comes as Americans say that they have felt the pinch of inflation and price hikes like never before.The study conducted by Preply said Shake Shack was ranked the most overpriced restaurant for chains, followed by Five Guys and the Sugar Factory. In March, Shake Shack raised its prices by 3%.
"With three of the five cities in the top five being in California, this highlights how California’s high restaurant prices align with the state’s soaring cost of living," the study said. "In addition to higher prices in general, California’s residents are known for prioritizing high-quality ingredients, which cost more."Unfortunately, some restaurants miss the mark.
