Off The Menu: Higher menu prices in the offing
Updated Feb 27, 2021;
When the day arrives for restaurant operations to return to “normal,” whatever that will look like one thing is almost certain. Those dining out will find themselves facing higher menu prices.
The many food production and distribution bottlenecks the pandemic has created have already driven up wholesale and retail food prices, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture reporting that food prices increase 3.5% last, almost double the 20-year average rate.
Minimum wage legislation working its way through the U.S. Congress will likely have a substantial impact on restaurant labor costs, especially for those operations that rely on “tip credit” provisions to set wage rates for tipped employees.
Roy Williams Jr., a community organizer and Army veteran, has been named the replacement for Sen. Doris Turner, D-Springfield, on the Springfield City Council.
Mayor Jim Langfelder announced Friday that Williams had beaten out eight others to serve the final two years of Turner s term. The others who showed interest included Billy Earl, Bill Eddington II, Diane Howard, Fredrick Jackson, District 186 Board District 6 Representative Judith Johnson, Sangamon County District 19 Board Member Vera Small, former Capitol Township trustee Candice Trees and Nadine Wright. The nomination will be presented Tuesday to the full city council. Williams will be up for election in 2023, when the next round of city elections are slated to be held.
