LPG Shortage Drives 5 - 10% Increase in Hotel Food Prices, Say Association
Hotel food prices have increased by 5% to 10% due to a shortage of cooking gas (LPG), according to the Hotel Association. The supply disruption has directly impacted restaurant operations, leading to higher cooking and service costs.
Industry representatives stated that LPG is a critical resource for daily food preparation, and the current shortage has forced hotels to manage limited supply at higher costs. As a result, many hotels and restaurants have revised their menu prices.
However, the Hotel Association clarified that the price hike is temporary. They assured that food prices will be reduced once LPG supply stabilizes and becomes readily available again.
Impact on Customers
The increase in food prices is likely to affect regular customers, especially those who rely on hotels for daily meals. Even a small percentage hike can make a noticeable difference in overall expenses.
