With the dynamic pricing model, the chain’s iconic Dave’s Single could increase by as much as $1 at lunchtime and drop down by the same amount after the lunch rush.

everything in the world is getting worse in the stupidest way possible for the worst reasons!!!

will employee wages be dynamic based on demand! of course not!

      Reminds me of a bar that did this. It was wall Street themed. Of course we talked about it in B school. Lol

        there’s one in DC that treats the beers like the stock market. there’s a ticker up on the wall and you can see the live price is coming up and down

        Difference there being that the people are in the bar for a while and ordering several drinks and the price is displayed pretty prominently with immediate updates. I’d be a little pissed if I went to Wendy’s and did not know how much I would be spending because too many others were also going.

        Also, that bar thing is a fairly common gimmick. The pricing is never outrageously different.

      If the lower limit is close to continued operating costs then I’m all for it. Plus, we can cut down on the corporate dipshits on payroll who decide pricing if the prices automatically adjust to Supply Demand Equilibrium.
