Food for thought: Bengaluru hotels likely to increase prices by 10%

The Hindu  

It’s not just your monthly electricity bill that’s set to rise. In the backdrop of edible oils, cooking gas, coffee powder, and fuel becoming more expensive, hoteliers have been demanding a hike in the price of all food items on their menu for over a month now. The Bruhat Bangalore Hotels’ Association met on Monday evening and decided to advise hoteliers to raise the prices across the board up to 10%. Chandrashekhar Hebbar, president, Karnataka Regional Hotels and Restaurants’ Federation, said the increase in edible oil prices owing to the Ukraine-Russia war and the rise in fuel prices, including cooking gas, had hit the hotel industry hard. However, while the association has suggested a 10% price hike across the board, it has left it to individual hoteliers to take a call depending on the situation.
