They tresspassed me, but they were on the app flipp advertising...moment I told them that I didnt have a business license the cranston pd was called. I was told dont come back or your going to jail.
I can see overhead and such going up since there's prices going up across the board. Like I said though local wing joint uses them and still charges 8 bucks for a half pound. They did triple last year for the same half pound portion. Think 35% is the typical overhead bracket for most restraunts. Figure 4 dollars a pound, they were charging 48 dollars per pound roughly last year. 15.40 cents should of gone to overhead 4 for the pound of wings, 19.40 would of been their cost. Leaving 28.60 roughly in profit per pound.
The overhead for this particular wing joint last year according to the manager was actually lower during the pandemic cause they reduced a lot of dogs from the menu, and cut back on staff....such as firing almost all of their servers. Allegedly after the staff reduction and dogs they allegedly had a 17% overhead.

I see a lot of shrinkflation..
However I dont buy the "passing it onto the customer excuse". There is a shop restraunt depot which you have to have a food related business license to be a member. If you dont have a business license they'll call the cops and have you trespassed.
.89 cents per pound for jumbo party wings. You buy them by the 40 pound case....other places if you were to buy them its between 2.99 to 3.99 a pound.
6 5 pound bags french fries 25.99...
So yeah I'm not buying the "distributor, broker, mega corps" excuse.
The local wing joint buys the wings from restraunt depot. They charge 7.99 for a half pound of wings. Do the math its greed.

I would say on par with dominos.... The pizza I had there was so greasy it fell apart....and the dough was burnt yet raw... Never ate there again after that. Can make better at home.
