I bought fast food for a group of people last night. The menu pricing was significantly higher than ordering through the app, which also allowed me to attach a digital coupon.
The pricing within the app is what I would expect to pay, or what I believe is “fair” or “reasonable” for chicken nuggets, French fries, and cheeseburgers.
On the other hand, I have cut my fast food consumption by at least half over the last few years because the published menu prices have skyrocketed.
What possible benefit would a fast food restaurant derive from publishing high prices to the casual customer and drastically reducing them within the app?
They have to be realizing a net loss of customers with this model, right?

Information. The apps gather a huge amount of data that the owner will then use to market products to you and/or sell that data to another party.
