🚨🚨 This week, half of the 1 million fast food workers in California will see their minimum wage increase to $20. While this is great news for the wage workers in the fast food industry, McDonald's and other fast food chains will increase menu prices to offset the cost of higher wages. In my opinion, fast food restaurants often go unnoticed for the value they provide. Despite not being the healthiest option, they offer affordable prices and dollar menus that help feed individuals and families in need every day worldwide. With the potential increase in prices, less fortunate families may struggle to afford cheap fast food, which could lead to desperate measures like crime. What are your thoughts on this development? Share your opinion in the comments below. Read more about the minimum wage increase in California here:

From what I am reading, the demands are going to force local restaurants to close their doors and national franchises to pull out of California due to exorbitant labor costs. This will cause even more unemployment in a state that is spending money faster than the US Congress. What happens when the restaurant economy crashes? How many people will be affected? Remember, this will not only affect the restaurants, but their suppliers as well. Most of them are already being hit financially by the Clean Transportation standards being forced upon in such a short time as well. What will happen to those workers and companies?

Fast Food Minimum Wage Increases Salaries for Exempt Managers By now, most Californians know that the minimum wage for many fast food workers increased to $20 per hour as of April 1st (No, it's not an April's Fools joke). What many don't know is that this also increases the minimum salary required for exempt managers. According to California law, managers at fast food spots must now make at least $83,200/year to keep their exempt status. The California Labor commissioner has already confirmed that covered fast food restaurant employers must use the higher $20 per hour rate set by the new law for their exempt employee calculations. So, what does this mean for employers? Time for a salary check! If you're in the fast food biz, make sure your exempt managers are getting the minimum salary required by law. Missing the mark could lead to costly claims and penalties. Stay informed, stay compliant! 💼💰 #MinimumWage #FastFood #CaliforniaLaw

Next week is a big one for economic data, but there is this as well: "California’s controversial $20 minimum wage for quick-service restaurant workers employed by companies with 60 or more locations is set to finally go into effect on Mon. April 1" How are California restaurants preparing for this? "juggling some combination of multiple solutions, including raising menu prices, freezing hiring, shortening operational hours, and implementing AI solutions." To say this will be interesting will be an understatement, especially if the above efforts still lead to operating losses. "During its Q3 earnings call, Yum Brands said of its California-based Habit Burger Grill, that the company is anticipating a $10 million operating loss impact from AB 1228." #fastfood #wages #inflation #AI Karen McDermott Jack Truong
