And they put them in the pipeline during the economic shutdown? Taco Bell's revenue has overall trended upward during and after all this C19 nonsense. They lost revenue for 1 year then gained more than they lost.

Yes, 35% above negative growth is a “lot”.
you’re also talking about a diversified parent holdings company. Which means you think delivery pizza is indicative of the restaurant industry as a whole during c19. Which is silly.

I remember 5 years ago taco bell was the best place to go for cheap food. I remember getting 15 breakfast burritos for my coworkers one morning and it cost me 15 bucks and change. I would drop by and nab 20 bucks of random snacks and it would feed my 8 hour dnd sessions with my 6-member-party all night. Now they don't have a single item with meat on their dollar menu... I might end up going to del taco more often if they even use real meat there.

Oh but anon it’s a Taco Bell thread as you pointed out.
And even ignoring the fact you don’t understand earnings =/= profit, the parent company making more money has nothing to do with a franchise owner (who signs the checks) making more.
No worries though, your notion is emotionally-based anyway. That’s why you’re asking for “proof” that increased expenses equal increased prices.
