Restaurant prices are definately on the move up, a lot of it having to do with the added fuel cost to deliver the food.
Also cost of cooking with propane or natural gas has risen, as have nearly all plastic items, paper and chemicals.
Benefits for employees, particularly health care goes up 10-20% a year, although many restaurants do not offer this.
Restaurant prices in particular for mid-range and lower ends have not taken many increases over the past years
and now they are forced to adjust to stay in business.
