Apparently close to that in many California cities. I don’t have a problem with this junk being eliminated entirely but it does seem the case that most customers prefer kiosks anyway (and spend more with customization). No doubt the law will be undermined and rescinded to some degree in short order.

Was this law passed by initiative petition? Direct democracy with half of the eligible voters participating, and nearly half of those against it?

“State Wage Inspector, let me show you my restaurant’s newly produced and selling bread as a stand-alone menu item. That is why we don’t pay $20 per hour.”

I understand many union contracts are connected to minimum wage. If minimum wage goes up, their pay goes up as well.

Correct me if I am wrong.

McDonalds has been developing automation solutions in earnest since the $15 per hour movement began in California.

It accelerated during Covid and after Covid.

Most McDonalds have already installed much of the infrastructure and even some of the automation systems like the kiosks, online cell phone app ordering, automated drink dispenser carousels and such.

At $20 per hour that is about $225,000 per year per employee position assuming three shift operation.

An automated cooking and prep cell can easily be had for that much capitol so the return on investment is a year or less for each automated station.

The Cali political morons have set the state up for a real big unintended consequence reality check in the fast food industry.

It seems that the In N Out I go to has raised their combo prices by 30c every time I go there ( which isn’t very often TBH). I was there last week and a #2 animal style was $8.76… last time I was there about 8 weeks ago, the same meal was $8.46. This is in Chandler.

Working in fast food, other than management, was always a high school, 2nd job, or extra retirement income. This really is getting out of control.
