158 menu items from 36 restaurants

The median listed price of “Burger (basic)” on the menus that list it, matched by item name with published include and exclude rules.

Where it publishes

A price index publishes for a place only once its menus carry 30 matching items from 15 restaurants on the same day. Most dishes clear that nationally long before they clear it in any one metro.

No metro has ever published Burger (basic). It needs 30 matching menu items from 15 restaurants in one place on one day, and no metro has reached that on any day this index covers. On September 22, 2026 the largest metro sample was Atlanta, GA, with 16 menu items from 4 restaurants. This reading publishes nationally; nothing is estimated for the places it does not.

What counts as Burger (basic)

The median listed price of “Burger (basic)” on the menus that list it, matched by item name with published include and exclude rules. The index is a median of listed menu prices, not of what guests paid: it says what a restaurant asks for the dish, before discounts, tax, tip or delivery fees.

The rules are regular expressions run against the lower-cased item name, in the same order the builder runs them; first match wins. Every dish’s rules are on the methodology page.
