Raise prices on the right items with a local price check

A sketch of what you'll get back.

Your prompt

Fill in your details. Skip any you like.

ChatGPT and Claude open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.

The prompt that gets copied

I'm planning a price update at [YOUR BUSINESS, e.g. my sandwich shop].

My current prices: [PASTE YOUR PRICES]
Nearby competitors' prices: [PASTE COMPETITOR PRICES]
Portion or size details, if I have them: [PORTION DETAILS, e.g. our subs are 10 oz]
My delivery app pricing: [DELIVERY APP PRICING, e.g. 15% higher on apps]
My cost increases this year: [COST INCREASES, e.g. bread up 12%, meat 8%]

1. Compare my prices with theirs, category by category, in a table
2. Compare value too, like price per ounce or portion, where you can
3. Show where my in-store and delivery prices sit against theirs
4. Suggest which items can go up, by how much, and which should stay put
5. Flag any item where a rise would make me much pricier than everyone else

Only use the numbers I gave you, and show your math.

Paste your prices, nearby competitors' prices and your cost increases. You get a side-by-side comparison by category, including portion sizes and delivery app prices, and which items have room to rise.

Step by step

  1. Collect competitor prices from their menus or websites.
  2. Paste your prices, theirs and your cost increases.
  3. Check the suggested rises against your own costs.
  4. Update your prices and announce the change clearly.

What you'll get

A category-by-category price and value comparison, with suggested rises and items to leave alone.
