外食企業の半数超が値上げ　１００社調査、春の４倍に―帝国データ

　帝国データバンクは１９日、上場する外食企業主要１００社の価格改定動向調査結果を発表した。１月から今月１８日までに値上げを実施したり、値上げの予定を公表したりした企業は５６社で、４月下旬までに値上げが判明した１５社から約４倍に急増した。
　食材やエネルギー価格の高騰に加え、急激な円安の進行で輸入商材の仕入れコストも上昇。帝国データの担当者は「為替など想定外の事態により、今後も値上げや再値上げに踏み切るケースが増える」とみている。（2022/10/19-18:13）

The number of publicly traded major Japanese bar and restaurant operators that have raised prices or announced price hike plans between January and Tuesday came to 56, nearly quadrupling from 15 as of late April, according to a private-sector survey released Wednesday.
   The survey by credit research company Teikoku Databank Ltd. covered 100 listed companies in the Japanese eating-out industry.
   In addition to soaring food and energy prices, companies are facing higher procurement costs for imported items due to the yen's rapid deterioration.
   "Exchange rate movements and other unexpected factors are likely to prompt more and more companies to start and continue raising prices," a Teikoku Databank official said.
   The share of companies that have raised or announced plans to increase prices stood at 90 pct among those offering Chinese-style noodles, including operators of Chinese restaurants and ramen shops.
