Keys Cafe and Bakery restaurants added a temporary 50-cent surcharge for each egg this week due to the surging cost of eggs nationwide.
Chad Selton, a manager at the Keys Cafe in downtown Minneapolis, said his location of the local chain was the last to implement the surcharge, adding that he tried to hold out as long as possible. Restaurants traditionally operate under very thin profit margins.
“We’re already struggling for business, and the last thing I want to do is add more costs onto it all, until I absolutely have to,” he said. “Things are just getting hard, and we were having to absorb [the costs].”
