Five Guys Price Increase

I enjoy eating at 5Gs. I'd happily pay $0.15 for that meal. But thanks for the heads up.
I enjoy the food also, but I hate going over the reimbursement!

The plain little burger will keep you under reimbursement. If you check around, pricing varies by local locations.

I do one FG shop a month. I get the smallest everything so I can stay under the reimbursement. Today's order of a Little Cheeseburger, Little Fries and a regular drink cost me $0.05. The fries went up a dime. Luckily, I get 10% cash back when I use my debit card there.
NO cheese keeps you under.

You can always bring your own cheese....
AMEX had $5 off $20. If you have a shop that requires the purchase of a milkshake, then this is a great deal!

It's all relative. Everything above costs $.30 more in my area. Adding a slice of cheese to a little burger costs $.75 more. Although Small Fries are an option and that will keep it under reimb as long as it's a hamburger and not a cheeseburger.
I just came back from a 5 Guys and there wasn't a price increase here. A little cheeseburger, little fry and a fountain drink cost $10.54.
Nice, your market is great then. I'm not in a huge market, but usually it came to $11.95 in my area and now it's $12.05 for the same three items. So we had the slight increase too. I could drop to just hamburger, but I'll eat the $.05 cents over
Not seeing any price increases in my market, yet. Just checked the online ordering, as I have a shop coming up this week. All meals include little fries, regular drink, and tax.
Little bacon cheese - 11.42
regular hamburger - 11.52
regular cheeseburger - 12.26
I usually go with the regular cheeseburger, as the report is easy, and I have 2 locations convenient to my office for lunch, so I don't mind the .26 out of pocket. If there was any significant price increase, I'd drop down to the hamburger or the little bacon cheese. In fact, they would probably be doing me a favor with a little price increase.

I wish they would adjust the reimbursement so that it will at least cover the minimum purchase. In my area:
Little Hamburger ($5.29) + Little Fries ($3.29) + Regular Drink ($2.69) = $11.27 + Tax ($1.16) = Total ($12.43)
$0.43 over the reimbursement = not worth it to me
Little Hamburger ($5.29) + Little Fries ($3.29) + Regular Drink ($2.69) = $11.27 + Tax ($1.16) = Total ($12.43)

I agree, there should be market based compensation., but they probably just use an average. That's a lot of tax!

I live in New Hampshire. A little cheeseburger is $4.79, little fry is $2.49 and regular drink is $2.39, and the tax is $0.87.
I just went yesterday and saw the increase where I am too! I was $1.43 over reimbursement when im usually only 80 cents over. but for those burgers though.. I REALLY DONT MIND! lol

As much hype as there is we have two. I pass both at lunch hour often not on shops. Both at 12 noon often have ZERO customers. Happens several times a week.
I don't comprehend a cheeseburger without cheese.

Are shoppers still allowed to get the grilled cheese sandwich? That was the lowest price sandwich, if I remember correctly, and it could keep the total cost of the meal low.

I hope so. I enjoy the grilled cheese with bacon which is less than a cheeseburger.
I thought about getting a veggie burger on Friday, but decided on the cheeseburger instead. I usually have a scheduler call me at the end of the month for a bonused shop, so I can wait for that.

You can get a grilled cheese or a vegetable sandwich and be easily under the cap. I've gotten both many times without any issue. They don't really have a vegetable burger -- both items are just veggies and cheese in a bun. I think the grilled cheese is quite good. The veggie sandwich is a bit boring, but since it isn't grilled your wait time will be stunningly quick, so I'm sure your local manager would love it if you ordered it!
I am in NY and was there earlier today. A grilled cheese, little fry and regular drink came to $11.35 with tax. I completed a print shop yesterday and following the instructions, the reimbursable amount was ten dollars. It did not take into consideration the tax. When the shop fee is low and is reduced by the amount of reimbursement, it is pretty annoying.
That sounds yummy!

You care about the food????????????? I care about how the food performs and how much it costs. The plain grilled cheese costs little and has those slightly firmed up, grilled corners along with some support from the cheese. (It also carries no risk of sliding, popping, flying, or otherwise escaping
ingredients.) The corners fit neatly into the ketchup cups and, if necessary, the shopper can angle the sandwich so that ketchup drips down the long side of the bun. Shoppers who paint master the technique quickly. Others might need a little practice. Eventually, everyone can establish a proper ketchup-laden tool, a chain restaurant version of a makeshift paintbrush.
So now the useful food is on its way to the napkin. There, the handy sandwich records the necessary shop information in ketchup on napkin. (This is only for sleepy days when they shopper might forget twelve or nineteen details.) Now, this is not quite as evocative or elegant as quill on parchment. It is never, under any circumstances, to be compared with the exquisite calligraphy! But it gets the job done.
The technique works with fries. Some fries are more useful than others. Someday, I might try this with bacon.
What.

The corners might fit into the ketchup cup initially, but what happens after the first bite? The angle would be too wide to fit into the cup, no? The problem is in the choice of condiment. Mustard (Kosciusko please) is the best choice when cheese is involved. But that creates two problems: Five Guys doesn't have good mustard and mustard is a poor writing tool. So, the grilled cheese will be eaten without condiments and fries get pressed into service as writing implements for shop notes. I don't see any way around it.

Just did a 5 Guys today (love 5Gs!). Little cheese burger, little fries, and regular soda with tax came to $10.56. $5.19, $2.39 & $2.19 tax $ 0.79. That's in upstate NY.
