Wendy's to Introduce AI-Enabled Surge Pricing for Menu Items
TL;DR Summary
Wendy’s plans to invest $20 million in digital menu boards to experiment with dynamic pricing at company-owned stores starting in 2025, using AI-enabled menu changes and suggestive selling. The move aims to provide value during slower periods and improve the customer experience, with potential price adjustments based on factors like weather. The use of dynamic pricing, similar to that seen in the airline and ride-sharing industries, could help optimize prices and drive profits, but the challenge lies in avoiding customer perception of manipulation.
