I’m wondering how taking wings off menu raises sales?

I don’t think it did. but at least it didn’t decrease.

I only sell 160lbs of fresh wings a week, after marinade and precooking them, I just want to get rid of them.

I sell a fresh chicken tenders like crazy over 1000 lbs a week, those too are the most expensive ive ever seen. $3.05 this week

There isn’t much money in wings when I can get them. I sell mine for $1.50 each. I don’t care if I sell them or not. My food cost is better on boneless wings.

$2.85 for frozen uncooked wings at Sams Club.

Interesting…Do those wings have alot of pump in them? Like 30% flavored solution

16

My guess would be yes

$3.72 last week. Fresh Jumbo wings. Upstate NY, from US Foods.

Wings kept going up and up, the highest I paid was $3.98.
Then about a month ago they dropped 30 cents, I was thinking finally we are trending down… but theyve stayed at $3.68 for a few weeks now

There is going to be a shortage when football season hits. Price will be going way up from what I’ve been told. I’ve got a friend who is a food rep as well, he just doesn’t have my territory or I’d use him, I’ll see if he sees the same forecast

If they do go up, Im taking them off the menu. Im fortunate that my customers dont order wings enough for it to be a problem
