Cost of Running a McDonalds Jumps $250,000 in CA Due to Minimum Wage Hikes
6th February 2024
Prices at fast food restaurants in California are set to jump in April as huge minimum wage hikes kick in. Escalating restaurant prices won’t be limited to California.
California already has some of the highest fast food prices in the nation. Expect to pay still more, and not just in California.
You could always cook healthy food from scratch, as we used to do in the Good Old Days. But I guess not.
I’d be interested in how many lower-tier people are going to lose their jobs due to increased automation and so forth.
The franchise owner will weigh the cost of a kiosk vs shelling out $250,000 in wages. Joe’s Grill and Susie’s Diner don’t have that option.
