In a recent CBS Moneywatch news <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/inflation-transitory-issue-federal-reserve/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-higher-inflation-may-no-longer-be-considered-transitory-2718097" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">article</a>, inflation is discussed as price hikes are sending shocks through household budgets, following almost a decade when inflation rose between 1% to 2% annually. But in 2021, inflation is forecast to stand close to 5%, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.

Restaurants are also facing competition for workers, both from other industries that pay higher wages as well as rival dining establishments, he noted. That's prompting his company's restaurants to boost wages, which Balis estimates have risen by about 7% from a year earlier.&nbsp;"Fortunately, knock on wood, we have been able to [raise] prices to offset these pressures to protect margins," Balis said. "If there was ever a time the consumer was tolerant of those price increases, it is now."Restaurant owners believed that workers would follow by returning to the labor market after the pandemic unemployment benefits expired in September, but that hasn't happened.To see the full article, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/inflation-transitory-issue-federal-reserve/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-higher-inflation-may-no-longer-be-considered-transitory-2718097" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">click here</a>.
