  • While hundreds of thousands of fast-food workers will benefit from the pay raise, many franchise owners say the increase will strain their businesses, forcing them raise prices and lay off some workers. NBC News' Liz Kreutz reports.

      @@toddtheisen8386 I haven't seen anything reporting that the current law doesn't apply to part time as well. Let me know otherwise.
      As to your comment: not in this industry. Restaurants have peak hours - meal times - meaning that only a small percentage of shifts can be 8.5 or 10.5 hours. Morning prep, cleanup, maybe a few night shifts, basically. I worked a ramp job in the airlines with a similar structure relative to burst demand and created scheduling for it. Hence why something like 20% of fast food employees are full time.
      Turnover in the industry is 150%. You simply can't count on having more than a few people who stick around for long, full time or not. You will always need fresh part-time workers for peak demand hours. The point of fast food is that anybody can work such a position with very little experience.
      But the bigger story is going to be location: you can support lower margins and/or higher pays without increasing prices if you restrict your locations to high volume areas. This is why McDonald's workers in Denmark can make $22/hr without sacrificing quality or greatly increasing the prices. But a quieter Interstate Exit McDonald's? Those will disappear and/or full time positions will be eliminated.

      You do realize a lot of these businesses are franchise by individual owners. I was part owner to two different local restaurants and I put up my life savings to have 2 to 3 years of no negative margins and broke even by the 4th year just to earn 180 to 300 dollars a month on my investment as a part owner. So in the end it’s more risk and strain on the owners and franchises. To cost 4 dollars more on top of the forced insurance, rent, fees, utilities, supplies and other unforeseen expenses that counties or state may leverage on means a lot businesses will unfortunately have to close shop.

      Low income earners often rely on cheap fast food. That is another issue in itself, but it will hurt them most when they raise prices or shut down. That is the true outcome of the experiment. An idea might be to get kids out in the workforce to learn the value of work while still not paying their own rent. As others have stated, these jobs are not meant to sustain an adult career in most cases.

There are plenty of people in so-called "creative fields" such as actors, writers, musicians and comedians who will start out working free or low-paid gigs to gain the exposure and the experience. We know of barber and cosmetology schools where the students perform the work at lower wages so they can gain the experience, so why in the fast food industry do these activists expect that somebody off the streets with NO experience whatsoever doesn't receive some type of benefit from being able to start work at a more modest beginning wage?

    $20/hour is really great, only IF you are working. In the long run minimum wage workers won't come out ahead. This is a gambit by Calif's Gov Newsom for his union supporters. In the midst of this death spiral, the mom & pop businesses will struggle in more, even thought this law on the sufrace only affect fast food companies with 60 or more workers, those businesses sill still have to compete against those national fast food chains.

      It is the franchise owners who have to raise prices in order to cover the minimum wage hike, not the corporations. Fast food restaurants run on a razor thin profit margin. The average fast food restaurant owner in America makes am average of $80,000/year. Some make as much as $150,000/year, while others make as little as $30,000/year. Feel free to look that up.
      Meanwhile, Democrats who are always screaming about corporate and business owner "greed" have no problem with millions of fat slob public employees making 6 figure incomes working for non essential agencies that no one has ever heard of.

      Oh, and BTW, a friend of mine was a big shot for Ford Racing Development. I asked him once about how much the union assembly line workers make. At that time around 15 years ago, the top pay was around $31.00 an hour. But with all of the perks and concessions, including up to a year off with full pay, the total labor burden paid by the Big 3 automakers was $83.00/hour. No doubt it is much higher now.

      companies like the big 3 auto makers You are talking about McDonald's corporate stores and not the franchises,and we are not only talking about big companies rather smaller operations that may only have 10 to 30 stores that fall under this new wage law, franchise and smaller businesses will uselessly work on a 2 to 3% profit margin
      and the latest numbers coming out of California on massive lay offs and businesses closures are backing up what I stated earlier. The only reason California raised the min. wage law is because the state collects state tax on that $20 per hour wage. and what you will find is states that collect state income tax will always raise there hourly wage making it look as if the state is helping the average worker but they
      are not. Always remember this the owner of any business has the right to make a profit and the employees have the right to be paid for the hours they work. Some where along the line employees felt that they were due extra pay because the company made a profit, but in reality they are not / never entitled to any of a companies profits.
