Dynamic pricing is like happy hour, but 'less static': Juicer CEO

Dynamic pricing, which adjusts prices depending on demand, has made its way into Wall Street conversations, specifically in the food sector. Recently, Wendy's (WEN) announced plans to begin testing dynamic pricing as early as 2025, yet the move met consumer backlash.  Juicer Co-Founder and CEO Ashwin Kamlani joins Yahoo Finance to give insight into how his company aims to use dynamic pricing to help restaurants maximize revenue during slower periods of the day.
