McDonald's Corp has raised the prices of some set menu items for the second time this year in China to offset higher operating costs.
The world's largest fast-food chain by sales revenue added 1 yuan (16 cents) to the prices of four of its breakfast and lunch set menus.
It said the move was a "structural price adjustment" but emphasized that it had left the prices of some set meals unchanged and introduced value set meals at the same time.
Earlier this year, McDonald's added 0.5 yuan to 2 yuan to the prices of its Big Mac burger, soft drinks and pies due to the pressure of rising costs.
Since entering the Chinese mainland in 1990, the US fast food giant has opened about 1,400 stores across the country. It aims to open 225 to 250 new stores this year and to expand its network in the mainland to more than 2,000 outlets by 2013.
KFC Corp - McDonald's biggest rival in China - which is owned by Yum! Brands Inc, raised prices in September and again in October.
Pizza Hut, another restaurant chain owned by Yum, also raised some menu items early this year.
Chief Financial Officer Rick Carucci of the parent company of the Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell brands said during a conference call in February that rising food and labor costs at its restaurants in China would likely result in menu prices being increased in 2017.
Another fast food chain, Yoshinoya, said on its website that earlier this year it had increased the prices of some items by 0.5 yuan to 3 yuan.
