McCAIN
The pressures within supply chain continue to plague and challenge the food industry. We have been notified by McCain
that globally they will no longer be able to support contracted pricing or price protection for WINGS effective July 1, 2022.
All customers, regardless of chain or independent, will be facing a price increase. This impacts our French Fries as well as
our Yam Fries (sweet potato).
McCain brined 7/16 Fry: Increasing by $9 to $37.45 per case ($0.08 per ounce/ $0.63 per 8 oz serving)
McCain Taterchef Sweet Potato Planks: Increasing by $7.50 to $63.50 per case ($0.13 per ounce/ $1.05 per 8 oz serving).
To offset these increases, we are increasing the price of French Fries & Gravy and Yam Fries w/ Aioli by $0.50. Food cost as
of July 1 on Fries & Gravy: 10% Food Cost as of July 1 on Yam Fries & Aioli: 13%
All items that come with fries as a combo (burgers/handhelds), are increasing by $0.25.
These changes will be reflected with updated pricing on our menu reprint.
SRIRACHA SAUCE
It was announced in the media this week that globally there will be a shortage of Sriracha Sauce and related products for
at least the duration of the summer due to a shortage of sriracha peppers and poor upcoming crops.
Unfortunately, without a clear line of sight to when supply will improve, this means that we will have to discontinue one of
our favourite wing flavours on our core menu until the ingredients are back in regular supply. The wing flavour affected is
Sriracha Honey. This discontinued item will be reflected on our menu reprint.
Other recipes that use Sriracha such as our WINGS Burger sauce are being tested using an alternative to Sriracha. We will
update our BSM with the new recipe once determined. This process is underway, and we hope for it to be complete by
end of day Monday.
Sriracha Lime Seasoning is returning to inventory at GFS. Once we have a firm arrival date, we will send out a notice.
We continue to work closely with our vendors and distributors to ensure we are pursuing the best possible solutions for these
continued supply chain interruptions and challenges. If there are any questions, please reach out at any time.
Thank you,
Katie McKenzie
