The company said the extra fee will vary by region and location, and it declined to specify which restaurants will be affected. Denny’s, which has more than 1,500 locations, joins peers such as Waffle House in adding extra charges. The bird flu has killed millions of egg-laying chickens, driving egg prices to record highs.

Denny’s said it has tried to plan ahead with vendors on items such as eggs to minimize the volatility on costs and menu prices, but it needs to charge more in the face of the shortages.

“We understand our guests’ desire for value, and we will continue to look for ways to provide options on our menu,” the company said in a statement.
