This is amazing. Ideally restaurants would just price using AMM curves. https://twitter.com/MorePerfectUS/status/1762251031910728069

Problem is they are only exploring the surge and not the reduction of prices in slow times. I want half-priced square hamburger meat.

In equilibrium it will have that same effect. From a PR perspective, of course they should have announced it as an off-peak discount and then when they need to raise prices blame it on inflation (Notice how no one gets upset at stores for doing "clearance sales" seemingly at least 50% of the time)

It just occurred to me that Uber must have called it Surge Pricing on high times instead of Discount Pricing on low times because driver supply is less elastic than rider demand
