    We believe that this guest with household income below $100,000 represents about 40% of our total sales and, based on our data, is dining out less often due to concerns about the economy and inflation.

    Uh, yes, as someone who is in this demographic I can attest that dining out less due to vague concerns about the economy and inflation is a very real phenomenon that deserves further investigation.

      I made 4 days worth of food (for two!) with 2 boxes of penne, some cheese, canned beans, and corn.

      Like $8 of ingredients, or about $1 per serving. I’d much rather spend an hour cooking instead of spending that hour driving to chipotle, ordering, taking it home, filling up gas, and paying 10x for it.
