Thankfully you also get a 7% salary increase every year to keep up. Oh wait.

I miss those prices !
The same also applies for holidays, when the standard hotel room price was between 40 and 50€ , flight tickets under 70€ .
Anyway, Inflation is normal, the prices of 2015 if.they were shown to someone in 2000 he would be astonished!
But the question here : are the wages following this inflation pace ?

According to an inflation calculator ~8€ in 2015 had the same purchasing power as ~11€ in 2024.
So adding the risen minimum wage and other factors it looks like the prices “stayed the same” in the grand scale of things.
That salad is really cheap though comparatively.

Are there different menus/prices in different locations? I imagine rent plays a role in the final price. So no two store prices would be there same.

The question is did your net salaries increased by 90% since 2015? If not, then you got poorer.

It was already overpriced back then, even if the food would have been at least barely decent.
I just don‘t get why people trash their money on them. Your typical italian/turk makes them better at ease at 75% of their prices.

The beauty of compound interest. +7% YoY becomes almost a +100% after 10 years.

Earlier, you get OK food at cheap prices. Now, you get OK food at OK or above average prices. Fewer people eating outside. Everyone is shocked … shocked … that people don’t eat out!

Price is one thing, but omg! Every Italian getting heart attack from this “Carbonara”.
Bacon? Cream? Petersilie? Onion? Wtf?
Carbonara is made of guanciale, not bacon, guanciale! It’s basically cured pork jaw meat. Bacon is smoked meat from the belly, less fatty. And totally different taste than guanciale.
Grana Padano? No, no, no. It’s mild and milky, you need either pecorino, or parmigiano reggiano for Carbonara. Again, different taste, almost spicy.
Onion? For what? Carbonara doesn’t contain onions. Same with petersilie.
Where is the ridiculous amount of freshly ground black pepper from it?
Egg yellow only? Eh, I’d add 1 whole egg to every 3 egg yolk as well.
But this, on the menu… is *not* Carbonara. Not even close to it. I’m not even Italian, and even I know this. 😀
Carbonara is roasted guanciale, spaghettone quadratto (not basic spaghetti, the form of it decides if the cream stays on the pasta, or not) aldente and cooked together with the guanciale, whipped egg yolks and egg slowly given to it – with heat turned on, because you don’t want scrambled eggs, you want a cream, with a little bit of pasta water, and absolutely filled with freshly ground black pepper. Period. Nothing else.
​
And just checked bolognese too, where’s the celery? Oh, I’m not even going into this.

Don’t forget that Vapiano had to declare bankruptcy and close a lot of locations in between. So chances are the prices on the left were too low to be sustainable. But yeah, Vapiano was good value back then.

Thanks to that and the low quality of the Service and the Food, my last visit was years ago.
