How does inflation affect businesses?

Inflation means that the cost of goods and services is generally rising. For businesses like Itsu, this means everything from ingredients to energy becomes more expensive. They have to work harder to manage these rising costs, sometimes by increasing prices, cutting expenses, or finding more efficient ways to operate, as Itsu did by revamping stores.
