Dairy and beef prices increased the most as Oliver’s adjusted its menu to the rising cost of food, according to Carleton University Students’ Association (CUSA) business operations manager Rod Castro.
Prices increased by an average of three to five per cent, he said.
This happened due to price increases by both the food provider and the actual cost of food, Castro said.
“The chain of events leads everyone to react to cost changes,” he said via email.
The rise happened earlier in the year, but Oliver’s decided to reflect the change only now because it sold less over the summer, he said.
Beer will cost the same because Oliver’s adjusted the prices last year, Castro said.
He said Oliver’s is well positioned to stay with current beer prices.
