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)

In the uber case, I was told that uber did not do it that way because the demographic they felt the most need to market to was the *drivers*, to whom surge prices are of course an exciting opportunity rather than an unexpected cost.
