Eating out could become more expensive as vegetable prices soar

Vegetable prices are skyrocketing, leading restaurants to consider hiking menu prices and abandoning discounts, ultimately burdening diners with higher costs for dining out. The unprecedented price surge has impacted bottom lines of eateries, forcing some to adjust portions or even discontinue certain items. Larger establishments are extending support to vendors facing challenges due to rising costs, while smaller joints are exploring cost-saving measures like automation.
