Why We Built This
Eats Prices was founded in 2026 with a straightforward mission: give every American consumer access to accurate, real-time fast food pricing — the kind of transparency that restaurants themselves rarely provide.
The idea came from a frustration shared by millions. Walk into any major fast food chain and you'll notice something: prices are rarely posted prominently, menu boards change constantly, and the price you saw online last week is often different from what you're charged today.
We believed consumers deserved better. Not just a static list of prices scraped once and forgotten — but a living, breathing database of real prices, updated constantly, enriched with nutrition data, and presented in a way that actually helps people make smarter decisions about where and what to eat.
Today, Eats Prices tracks thousands of menu items across hundreds of restaurant chains, updated daily. We serve consumers who want to know where their dollar goes furthest, journalists investigating food inflation, researchers studying consumer price trends, and anyone who simply wants to plan a meal without surprises.
How We Collect & Verify Price Data
Accuracy is our most important product. Here's exactly how we build and maintain our database:
✅ Our Data Accuracy Commitments
- All prices on Eats Prices are national averages unless explicitly stated otherwise
- We never publish prices without a verifiable source or community confirmation
- Every page displays a "Last Updated" timestamp so you know how fresh the data is
- We correct errors within 24 hours when reported by users or identified internally
- We clearly disclose when pricing data is estimated versus directly verified
- No restaurant pays to influence how their prices are listed or presented on our platform
Our Core Values
What Eats Prices Covers
Our database spans the full spectrum of America's fast food and quick service restaurant industry:
Our Relationship With Restaurants
Eats Prices is independently operated and privately funded. We have no financial relationships with any restaurant, food service company, or food industry trade group that influences the content of our database.
We may display advertising on our platform in the future. Any such advertising will be clearly labeled and will have zero influence on how any restaurant's prices, nutrition data, or other information is presented. An advertiser cannot pay to have their prices appear lower, their ratings appear higher, or their items featured more prominently than they organically deserve.
Restaurants cannot submit their own prices to our database or request changes to their listings through commercial arrangements. Price corrections are accepted from any source — including restaurants — but are verified independently before being published.
If you believe any data on Eats Prices is inaccurate, please contact us. We take every correction seriously and publish updates promptly when errors are confirmed.
