See How Much You Can Save on Labor & Oil Costs This Year
The aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic has yet to come into full fruition, and restaurants are really feeling the pain of rising labor costs. There's one other expense that's on the rise too - frying oil costs are higher than they've been in years. In fact, palm oil and soybean oil make up 60 percent of global production of vegetable oils, and the average price for palm oil is expected to be around $975/mt in 2021, which is much higher than industry watchers predicted.
