Will ordering out in a restaurant ever be cheaper than making your own food?
From inflation caused by more people trying to save money by making their own food?

I don’t know why you keep combining restaurants, prices and groceries. Three different things with the only commonality being food. They’re just different.
No. There’s no such associated inflation. The supplier of ingredients and raw foods doesn’t care whether it’s a restaurant or someone’s home kitchen.
Cooking at home will always be cheaper -depending on what you’re cooking.
No. You’re not only paying for the food You’re paying the wages of the staff and overhead of the building.
@janbb is correct. Depends on the food. I would save money if I cook lo-mein or spring rolls myself.
@Dutchess_III is right. There are so many expenses to running a restaurant that are not actual food that you don’t pay at home.
Grocery stores also have overhead – utilities, employees, building rent, marketing, inventory – just like a restaurant.
I guess it depends. It could become cheaper. They could end up with food completely made in a lab. It might make you grow another ear or something, but it would be cheaper than real food. And if a restaurant or restaurants decide to sell it instead of real food…there you are.
@smudges…of course. So do the venues restaurants get their food from. As a customer you pay for that AND the restaurant overhead.
