The practical implication is that older screenshots, PDFs, blog posts and third-party menus can be stale even if the item name is still current. Compare a dated old price only after matching the same restaurant, item, portion, modifiers and ordering channel.

What the 1.9% figure does not tell you
It does not create a universal national price list. It does not prove that a $20 item became exactly $20.38 at every restaurant. It also does not account for local market differences, taxes, delivery fees, alcohol pricing or later restaurant-specific changes. Use it as evidence that current local verification matters, not as a formula for reconstructing a menu.
For current planning ranges, use the complete price guide. For a local answer, open the official location finder and select the exact restaurant.
