Wendy's US Customers to Enjoy Regular Menu with Beef Supply Back

Wendy's could now assure customers of the availability of its burgers and other beef products as it announced that its beef supply is back to "near-normal levels.'

The fast-food chain experienced disruptions to its beef supply amid the pandemic. Through May, it was forced to temporarily take off beef from the menu at 18 percent of its restaurants across the United States.

The Dublin, Ohio-based Wendy's had to promote chicken-based dishes for the time being to alleviate pressure on beef demand while working with supply chain partners to deliver beef to "all Wendy's system restaurants" two or three times a week.

Famous for its "fresh, never frozen" burgers, the absence of its flagship product had customers asking, "where's the beef?"

As of May 31, 99 percent of the food chain's 5,861 locations in the US have opened for business.
