Wendy's 99 cent menu...

I was at Wendys last night *ummmm Wendys* I love their 99 cent 1/4 pound Deluxe Double Stack, a good burger at a great price.

But on their menu they have a 1/4 pound Classic Single, which is over 2 bucks. Aside from being a single patty, don't both of these burgers have the same toppings? I know the 99 cent one has a ton of stuff I don't like on it (onions, 1,000 island, tomatos) This has always confused me.

I've always thought "HUH?" and end up getting 2 99 cent burgers for, which comes out still cheaper! Somebody who has worked at Wendys, or who can answer my question, I would appericate it. 🙂

There probably is not. I know for a fact they are not available at all Wendy's locations. However, they are big in the Chicago area.

 
From my senior year in HS, and by god i still live by this:

The Stoner Special

-2 Jr Bacon Cheeseburgers
-5 Piece Nugget
-Medium Frostie

ALL UNDER 5$!!!!!!!!

Eat one burger, then eat nuggets, with leftover bbq sauce, dip second burger in while eating. delicious.

Why is it called the stoner special? Are you walking in at 2AM with a fascination towards aluminum foils?

That makes sense, but at the locations that have both, who the heck is gonna pay 2.5x more for a burger that is the same size, with the same toppings? ha

I love their 99 cent menu. Oh wow, I wish they were open 24 hours.

Where do you live? out here, the only close Wendys is about 50/50 with the fries, they go from real tasty to soggy, to cold and hard. I wish they could device a method of making the fries always decent. The burgers are always good 🙂

Take out one burger and add fries and you have a damn fine meal there. You have to eat the burger and then dip the fries in the frostie. I know that it sounds really nasty, I thought so too when a couple of my friends did it. I gave it a try and found it to be quite enjoyable. Before you comment on this, you really need to give it a try to for yourself.

No, you really can't. I had the same reaction as you when I first saw them doing it.

Smoking marijuana causes one to develop "teh munchi3z", which is basically hunger, and the ability to eat a lot of food. Figured it out yet?

My Wendy's hasn't carried double stacks in ten years, but if it's deluxe, then it would have mayo, ketchup, 2 pickles, 2 onions, small tomato, lettuce, small piece of cheese and mustard (in the shape of a W.)

The Single comes with mayonaise, ketchup, 4 pickles, 4 onions, bun-sized tomato, lettuce, larger slice of cheese and mustard (in the shape of a "w"!)

The junior patties lose more weight as they cook than the singles do. So although the "net weight before cooking" of what you are buying is the same, then the weight of the meat is still a little less. But for a dollar difference, anyone who orders a single is a dork. Especially if you can order extra pickle and extra onion without being charged.

The people running the Wendy's near you must have a screw loose. A junior cheese deluxe alone (not the doublestacks) cost approximately 77 cents to make. I would assume that the Double Stacks cost about $1.05 or a little less for them. The Junior Bacon Cheeseburger costs $1.02 to make. That and the side salad ($.99 to make) are two of the store's loss leaders. It's easy for fast food restaurants to make the money back because the typical person orders a soda with them, which costs you about a buck, but costs them about 4-5 cents. Talk about profit margin. That's why it's so easy for them to give up a measly 30 cents on combos.




... I've worked at Wendy's for an embarrassing five years and one month. It fits the college class schedule though. 🙂

I've been doing this since as long as I can remember. It's kind of like the ketchup on scrambled eggs thing.(which I like too)
 
Wendy's value menu is about the best deal in America. With water to drink you can have a good $2 or $3 meal. Amazing. And they finally shamed the other two into having a dollar menu.

First I like to say that I've never worked at a Wendy's but your figures are no way correct.
I work in the fast food industry and there is no such thing as a "loss leader"
Fast food have the LOWEST PROFIT MARGIN in the food industry so they can't take a loss in anything.

When McDonalds first started the $1 menu, the highest cost item we had was the Big n Tasty because of the 1/4 meat and that was $.52 food cost.

Like I said I've never worked at a Wendys but a Junior Bacon does not cost $1.02 to make.
At McDonalds....I don't remembered the cost of a Cheeseburger but a Double Cheeseburger cost $.32.
Add a piece of BACON which cost $.13, a Double Bacon would cost $.45 cents.

Surely the variance cannot be that much between Wendy's and McDonalds.
