Menus and prices in 9 markets, 595 items tracked.
Taco Bell has eleven products in our price index and 595 items across nine markets, but the more telling number is how much of its American board never leaves home. The chalupas, gorditas and crunchwrap variants that define the US menu are largely absent elsewhere.
What travels is the simple stuff: the crunchy taco, the soft taco, cinnamon twists. Items with no unusual ingredient and no unusual process cross borders; items built around a specific proprietary format do not.
The brand's positioning also inverts abroad. In the United States it is an aggressive value player; in most international markets it sits closer to fast casual, partly because Mexican-inspired food is a novelty category rather than an everyday one.
Each market has its own board. Prices are shown in local currency and are not comparable across rows - Use the index below for that.

Almost every restaurant you think of as a chain is owned by someone else entirely. What the franchisee actually buys, and why it explains the price on the board.
Localisation is not adding a novelty item. It is a staged process with a predictable sequence, and the menu data shows exactly how far each market has travelled.
Menu boards are designed documents, not lists. Where the money items sit, what the ordering of panels is doing, and how to find the price you actually want.
Price reports are signed, reviewed by a person, and earn points when accepted - So they need an account. Signing in takes one tap and brings you straight back to the report.
