California full-service restaurants raised prices by 3.3% in six months. That ranked third-highest nationally.
California fast food prices have risen by 7% in six months – the biggest bump in the nation, according to one industry cost trackerCalifornia fast-food diners are by no means alone in dealing with less economical menus. Costs in the food business continue to rise – whether those be labor, ingredients, energy, or other operational expenses.
Note that diners switching to full-service restaurants didn’t escape inflation either, but they found smaller hikes, according to this math. California had four of the nation’s top 10 places in terms of overall price hikes among 288 US area codes. No. 1 was the 530 area code, which includes Redding, Chico, and Davis with an 8.9% price hike. No. 7 was the Riverside County’s 951, up 7.9%. No. 9 was area code 209 surrounding Stockton, up 7.9%. And No. 10 was around Oakland , up 7.8%.
Conversely, California’s smallest price hikes were found in San Jose’s 408 area code – a 5.5% gain, ranking No. 79 nationally. The next four thinnest increases were found around Los Angeles – area code 424 , 747 , 213 , and 818 .
