What affects coffee pricing?

The price of regular coffee on restaurant menus in the United States has fluctuated significantly over the past two years. Several factors can influence coffee prices, including sourcing, demand, labor, equipment, and overhead costs.

Median Cold Brew Prices Rise to $5.62 in June 2026

What is the price of a cold brew at restaurants?

• The median price of a cold brew at Toast restaurants in June 2026 was $5.62.

• In June 2026, cold prices rose 3.7% year-over-year compared to June 2025.

• In June 2026, cold brew prices rose 0.4% month-over-month compared to May 2026.

What affects cold brew pricing?

Like regular coffee, various factors can affect the price of cold brew coffee, including sourcing, demand, labor, equipment, and overhead. 

One of the most influential factors affecting coffee prices in recent years has been weather. Coffee requires very specific conditions to grow and is primarily sourced from an area known as the “bean belt,” which lies between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.  Extreme weather, including both droughts and flooding, has put a strain on coffee production over the past few years, but demand has continued to grow.

While global coffee commodity futures have seen recent volatility—with some drops tied to favorable crop forecasts in Brazil—those upstream savings likely haven't yet reached the operator level. Factors like international shipping costs and ongoing labor pressures mean cafes and restaurants may be forced to pass these elevated costs on to consumers to protect their margins.

Beer Prices Hold Steady to a Median of $6.60 in June 2026

What is the price of a beer at restaurants?

• The median price of a beer at Toast restaurants in June 2026 was $6.60.

• In June 2026, beer prices rose 2.2% year-over-year compared to June 2025.

• In June 2026, beer prices held steady month-over-month compared to May 2026.

What affects beer pricing?

Whether it's a craft brew from a local brewery or a mass-produced domestic beer, the majority of beers contain four ingredients: water, hops, yeast, and grains, with barley being the most common. Beer can also be made from other grains, such as wheat, rice, corn, oats, rye, and more. 

Aside from raw ingredients, other factors that affect the price of beer include taxes, distribution costs, packaging costs (such as aluminum cans and kegs or glass bottles), labor, demand, and production expenses. While there are countless American beers served in restaurants in the U.S., there are also plenty of imported beers from around the world, which can face additional costs, from tariffs to shipping costs. 

At restaurants, refrigeration — from walk-in coolers filled with kegs to keep draft beers cold to lowboy fridges behind the bar for bottles and cans — staffing, and maintaining draft beer lines can also have an effect on pricing.

June 2026 Median Burger Price Fall to $14.71

What is the price of a burger at restaurants?

• The median price of a burger at Toast restaurants in June 2026 was $14.71.

• In June 2026, burger prices rose 2.2% year-over-year compared to June 2025.

Burgerflation

While the price of burgers on Toast restaurant menus has been increasing, it has not kept pace with the surge in beef prices in recent months. But the recent rise suggests that restaurants may be finally raising menu prices to offset some of the rising beef costs.

Ground beef is often made from less desirable cuts of meat, making it a cheaper alternative for those hoping to save a few bucks. But burgers are no longer just for fast-food restaurants. From brisket burgers to imported Kobe beef, award-winning burgers are served at Michelin-starred restaurants and fast-casual chains alike.

However, sourcing and processing meat can add significant costs for restaurants. While a significant portion of beef served at restaurants is raised in the U.S., prices can vary widely depending on how the animals were raised.

Cheese and bun prices can also affect burger prices. While there’s nothing more classic than two slices of American cheese on a burger, more complex cheeses that require time to age and develop can cost a premium. 

Key Factors in Recent Years

Beef prices have soared for various reasons, including a decreasing herd size while demand has stayed high, according to the Associated Press.

Supply chain issues from the COVID-19 pandemic, labor shortages,  production costs at meatpacking plants, export demands, and droughts have collectively pushed meat prices higher in recent years.

Sourcing vegetables has faced similar challenges in recent years. Seasonal and migrant farm workers are in short supply. At the same time, climate issues and drought in Western states like California, which produces a large percentage of vegetables in the U.S., have increased costs and limited production, driving up prices.

The prices of a burger can vary greatly from restaurant to restaurant, depending on how many upgrades the chef has made to this American staple.

Median Burrito Prices Fall to $13.58 in June 2026

What is the price of a burrito at restaurants?

• The median price of a burrito at Toast restaurants in June 2026 was $13.58.

• In June 2026, burrito prices rose 1.6% year-over-year compared to June 2025.

• In June 2026, burrito prices fell 0.1% month-over-month compared to May 2026.

What Affects Pricing A lot of work can go into crafting a perfectly wrapped burrito, and depending on customer preferences, a lot of ingredients, too.

While tortillas, rice, and beans are relatively cheap, there’s a lot of prep time involved for restaurants — from soaking beans to braising or slow-cooking proteins. And anyone who’s ordered a burrito knows that those add-ons can add up quickly. (Yes, we know the guac is extra, and yes, we still want it.)

Sourcing and processing meat can also add significant costs for restaurants. While the majority of meat is raised in the U.S., those prices can vary widely based on how the animals were raised.

Median Chicken Wing Prices Fall to $13.91 in June 2026

What is the price of chicken wings at restaurants?

• The median price of wings at Toast restaurants in June 2026 was $13.91.

• In June 2026, wing prices rose 1.2% year-over-year compared to June 2025.

• In June 2026, wing prices fell 0.1% month-over-month compared to May 2026.

Why Chicken Prices Don't Always Rise with Egg Prices

An avian flu outbreak in the U.S. sent egg prices soaring last year, prompting some restaurants to add egg surcharges, reduce the number of eggs they serve, or switch to liquid eggs to keep costs and prices low. The good news? Broiler chickens, the type of bird that produces chicken wings, differ from egg-laying hens, and they have not been as susceptible to the bird flu outbreak that began in 2024, leading to more stable chicken wing prices while egg prices saw greater fluctuation.

Moreover, there are far more broiler chickens than egg-laying chickens in the U.S., and they can be processed for their meat in about six to eight weeks. Egg-laying chickens, on the other hand, start laying after 18 weeks of age. All of this adds up to a more plentiful supply of chicken wings that are less exposed to the virus, and helps explain why the cost of chicken wings for restaurants has not increased as much as egg prices. Egg prices have cooled in recent months.

June Median Hot Dog Prices Rise to $7.66

What is the price of a hot dog at restaurants?

• The median price of hot dogs at Toast restaurants in June 2026 was $7.66.

• In June 2026, hot dog prices rose 3.6% year-over-year compared to June 2025.

• In June 2026, hot dog prices rose 0.8% month-over-month compared to May 2026.

What affects hot dog pricing? 

Hot dogs are, pretty famously, an affordable menu item. Typically speaking, that’s because it’s a “waste not, want not” product composed of cheaper cuts of beef, chicken, and pork. (Some folks would rather not know, exactly, what goes in a hot dog.) 

But, of course, there are also premium all-beef franks, sausages made in-house, and other expensive varieties. Every dog has its day. 

Naturally, the price of chicken, pork, and beef can all have an effect on hot dog prices. Meat costs are tied to countless external factors, such as herd sizes or fuel prices. So while hot dogs are typically considered a cheap eat, they are still subject to shifts. 

Key factors in recent years

Surging inflation has led to rising food and grocery prices across the board. Meat, meanwhile, has seen exceptional circumstances to further push prices upward, including herds shrinking and supply chain disruptions in feed-growing areas. 

Toppings, too, have grown more expensive. Say you want a Chicago dog: The price of tomatoes has surged 40% in just one year. So a simple, cheap hot dog off the roller at a dive bar might drive the median price down, while a premium frank “dragged through the garden” pushes the same figure upward.

Median Price of an Omelette Dips Slightly to $15 in June 2026

What is the price of an omelette at restaurants?

• The median price of an omelette at Toast restaurants in June 2026 was $15.00.

• In June 2026, omelette prices rose 1.9% year-over-year compared to June 2025.

• In June 2026, omelette prices fell 0.1% month-over-month compared to May 2026.

What affects omelette pricing?

The primary driver of variations in omelette pricing is egg prices because, after all, as the saying goes: You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. With an omelette typically using 3 or so eggs, a shift in the price of a dozen is often quickly felt by diners. 

But more goes into the price of an omelette than just egg prices. No menu item is exempt from inflation, of course, which has recently risen significantly. Dairy prices can have downstream effects, too, since eggs are typically whipped with milk and omelettes often feature melted cheese. 

Fillings, too, could affect omelette prices. A classic Western omelette is stuffed with diced ham, bell peppers, and onions. Any shift in the price of those items can move the price of an omelette. And, say, a diner opts to really stuff their omelette versus going for a basic egg-and-cheese variety — that, too, would help push the median figure upward. The possibilities are endless for an omelette, which means the price could shift in any direction.
