Maki
& Ramen professional in the hospitality industry, I find it frustrating to hear about prices going up every April, which businesses then always pass on to consumers. One week, food prices in restaurants can be fair, and the next, they skyrocket. This year, we are growing especially tired of the constant talk about price increases in hospitality, so we decided to absorb the costs ourselves. By doing so, our goal is to give back to the communities that have supported us and helped us build our brand, instead of making them pay out of their pocket, especially now that many people are finally seeing wage increases. We firmly believe that food should be accessible, and we want to contribute positively rather than take away from our customers.
“ This ties back to the core ideology that guided the opening of our first Maki
& Ramen restaurant: to craft authentic Japanese food that is accessible to everyone. While we may have somewhat strayed from this vision on our journey due to minimum wage increases and rising food costs, leading us to increase our menu prices, this year we took feedback to heart and decided to lock in our prices. Doing so allows us to stay true to our original commitment of providing affordable Japanese cuisine for all,” he ends.
Maki & Ramen’ s unwavering dedication to offering traditional Japanese cuisine at affordable prices reflects its communitycentric values and sets it apart from the competition. ■
