"California Fast Food Chains Navigate Impact of Minimum Wage Hike"
TL;DR Summary
As California's minimum wage for fast food workers is set to increase from $16 to $20 an hour, restaurant operators are making changes to mitigate the higher labor costs, including menu price hikes, automation of tasks, and layoffs. Some operators are testing fryer robots and automated drink dispensers, while others have announced plans to lay off in-house delivery drivers. The wage increase, a result of Assembly Bill 1228, has prompted concerns about the sustainability of the fast-food business model in California.
