Wendy's Introduces Surge Pricing for Burgers Based on Time of Day
Wendy's plans to implement surge pricing for its burgers, with costs varying throughout the day based on demand. For example, a burger may cost $1 more during peak hours like lunchtime, but then decrease by $1 after 2 p.m. This dynamic pricing model, akin to Uber's surge pricing, aims to adjust prices to match demand levels effectively, mirroring the principles of supply and demand in economics.
