Wendy’s fresh beef shortage has the chain cutting corners

Hundreds of its restaurants have stopped selling burgers amid beef supply challenges.

Supply challenges have put some stress on Wendy’s and other chains that use fresh beef for burgers.

While full-service and fast-casual concepts focus on takeout and delivery meals, drive-thrus are trying to lure customers with new items.

The chain’s sales were up 15% in the week after its breakfast launch before the pandemic changed everything.

Commercials introducing the new lineup were among the week's most effective ads from QSRs, according to a rating service.

The chain is a potentially formidable competitor in the mornings, but it has made some compromises, says RB’s The Bottom Line.

The burger chain says it is fully staffed as it starts serving in the morning and expects strong sales this year.

The burger giant is starting a 2-for-$4 breakfast sandwich offer one week before Wendy’s national breakfast launch.
