Umatoma Cheese Beef Bowl, added today, has also been set with a limited-time flag. The announcement made no mention of it being a limited-time item, but the menu data now formally treats it as one.

A Major Lineup Shakeup on the Launch Day of New Items

Today, April 7, is the launch day for Umatoma Cheese Beef Bowl and Lunch Set with Choice of 60 Dishes. In step with the launch, 9 items were delisted and 4 more flagged for discontinuation, making it a day of major changes to the menu lineup.

Editor's Note

9 items delisted, 4 more flagged for discontinuation — a major menu clear-out affecting 13 items in total. The day a new item launches is also, it turns out, a day of farewells.
