Is Wendy's buttering us up with all these deals before they bring in surge pricing?

I'm assuming it's damage control for their whole surge pricing debacle

These are new offers - so if you redeemed the old ones you can also use these. Worthy of a new thread IMO.

Between these and the free Cinnabon bites, I've been eating way too much Wendy's the last week..

There is no "surge pricing" (thanks to all of the backlash).

Quote from crablover2 :
Yes, I totally remember reading that too, but Wendy's is probably scrubbing the internet trying to take down that quote (about charging more at the crowded lunchtime). Dynamic pricing, for the customer, is really surge pricing. They already use coupons and promos to reduce prices at low times. Now with digital menu boards, they can change the price at a press of a button and then claim 'it was always $10 for that burger'. Yah, right. They won't go below their regular price point, they'll always go above it. They're just back-peddling like crazy because of the backlash, but they will still implement the digital menu boards and change prices as they see fit.

"Dynamic pricing, as defined by our friends at Investopedia, allows companies to set variable pricing that can fluctuate up and down throughout the day, depending on demand. For example, if you've ever seen "surge pricing" on your Uber app, this is dynamic pricing.

"This means a Wendy's burger may sell at a higher price point during a busy lunch rush, then come down in price during an afternoon lull, and go back up again at dinner time. And it's not just Wendy's who is thinking of adopting the practice. As Nation's Restaurant News previously reported, during the 2022 Restaurant Finance and Development Conference, there was an entire panel discussion on how the restaurant industry could better adopt the system. The only caveat being, if customers will love it or loathe it.

"Wendy's foray into dynamic pricing is a bold experiment that could help the chain be more efficient and ultimately profitable if it works, " said Caleb Silver, editor in chief of Investopedia, shared with Food & Wine. "But, it does run the risk of angering and losing customers since they actually have many choices, unlike the rideshare industry."

"For us, it was all about consumer reaction. The concern was if you're going to raise prices, you're going to sell less product, and it turns out that really wasn't the case," Faizan Khan, a Dog Haus franchise owner, said at the Restaurant Finance and Development Conference. "I think there's a lot of room for consumers in terms of price amounts they're going to accept. Generationally, I think we're seeing this being acceptable."
It can be argued that restaurants are already engaging in surge pricing if they lower the price at a slow time because they are then raising prices back up when it's busier. It's all how you want to look at it. Many restaurants offer deals at slow times. For example happy hour where some menu items cost less. Do happy hour discounts mean prices are surging up when it's busy? Sure, you could say that. And in that case surge pricing has been going on for decades. It's all how you want to look at it. The bottom line is the price has to be in line with what people are willing to pay and fast food has hellacious competition. If A Wendy's burger costs too much people will go elsewhere in a heartbeat.

Actually, they won't. Way too much backlash, and now, instead of being honest and transparent, they're falsely claiming that it was never their intention to do this! Hmmm?....are their corporate offices located at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?
If they are lying they must be located in Mar-a-Lago.

Is a $1 single better than the $2 double? I see both on my app.

Yes the $1 single is the better deal because for the $2 double you are paying $1 for one patty while with the single you are paying $1 for the patty, bun and condiments.

Did a quick search, it happened more or less around the same date. The deal does seem like it came about a day before the news came out.

However, getting a 2nd round of these deals so soon seems too convenient.

They really shouldn't have used the term "surge pricing", which to me sounds like the price will increase during busier hours of the day. Should have called it "Dynamic Discounts" or "Dave's Discounts"...just use the word discounts and they'd be golden
Sonic has done this for years, half price burgers or drinks during certain hours.

I think the "That is a conspiracy", followed by "this will never happen", then "of course it happens sometimes", finally "this is normal why are you complaining" comes from another neck of the woods…

If only it looked like that. It's so big and juicy you can't even get the whole thing into your mouth to take a bite out of it.

I had a free Whataburger meal in my offers and never went to go get it.

Yeah it's pretty amazing how much better the stock photo of the burger looks compared to what you actually get.

Do you guys still have this? I successfully redeemed the $1 burger yesterday.

Was going to go back for the $2 double today, but both offers are now gone in the app. I thought this promotion ran through 3/6.
