And the tip of the day at the *end In 2025, its prices are skyrocketing, with the wrapped souvlaki in several grill restaurants in Attica reaching 5 euros. Where it was once the most affordable, quick and filling solution for everyone, today it is gradually evolving into a luxury item. This picture is causing concern for both consumers and professionals in the industry. Families are finding it difficult to cover the cost of a simple meal, while businessmen are forced to increase prices to cope with the increased expenses. But what is the reason for this explosive rise in prices? - Souvlaki: Current prices in Attica Prices in grill restaurants vary depending on the region, but the general trend is upward. The wrapped souvlaki, which once cost €2.50 to €3, now ranges from €3.70 to €5.20. - Correspondingly, the kalamaki costs €2.20 to €3.70, while a portion of gyros or souvlaki can even exceed €11. For a family of four, the cost of a simple meal now reaches 40 euros, an amount that until a few years ago was considered incredible for the country's most popular street food. - Souvlaki: Why are prices increasing The price spike is not due to a single factor, but is the result of a series of increases that directly affect the final product. Industry professionals point out that costs have multiplied at every stage of production and distribution. 1. Raw materials: The cost of meat, pies, potatoes, tomatoes and sauces has increased significantly. Suppliers are constantly adjusting prices due to increases in feed, crops and energy. 2. Packaging and consumables: Greaseproof paper, bags, paper towels, aluminum foil: all have become more expensive, increasing the final cost per order. 3. Operating costs: The increase in electricity, rent, wages and taxes makes it difficult to maintain low prices. 4. Commissions and delivery platforms: Grills are burdened with bank commissions, percentages for delivery apps and costs for additional service equipment. 5. Transportation costs: The increase in the price of oil directly affects the transportation of raw materials, while even charcoal costs more. - Impact on consumers The increase in the price of souvlaki directly affects the consumer's basket. Souvlaki, which for decades was the cheap and quick solution, now requires a larger budget, while many consumers are turning to alternative, more economical food options. - Where are the prices headed? Experts estimate that the wrapped souvlaki will permanently lock in around 5 euros. The question, however, is whether souvlaki will remain the favorite "national" street food or whether the rise in prices will change our consumption habits. * Tip If you go out for 5 people for souvlaki you will pay about 20 to 25 euros, the issue is and the question is: What happens if you buy gyros, pita, yogurt, etc. ingredients and make it at home ???
HOW MUCH DOES A GYROS PITA COST WITHOUT POTATOES AT HOME?
Is it cheaper if you make it at home ???
I ANALYZE:
- Meat for 8 gyros pitas = 7.70 €?- Pies 10 pcs for gyros.. = €1.50 ?
- Yogurt strained 1 tbsp = €1.10 ?
- Tomato, Onion, spices = €0.50 ?
- Total cost of ingredients for 8 gyros pies = €10.80 ?
- Total cost of ingredients for 1 gyros pie = €1.35 ?
DO YOU AGREE WITH the calculation ???
give me your own cost lists !!!
* * HOW are the prices at the souvlaki restaurant three to four times higher than if you made them at home, Maybe because you don't have all those operating costs that the souvlaki restaurant charges, to manage to survive ???
*** Conclusions: Support the neighborhood souvlaki but HOW is making a gyros pie at home a very good idea and economical solution? ???
