Partial compensation here is that they will be able to attract and keep the elite of the burger business workforce. The costs associated with constantly retraining a minimum-wage workforce are not inconsiderable. As are those associated with the constant screwups of inexperienced and don’t give a damn workers.
I used to train franchisees in an unrelated but even more labor-intensive business. IMO they could generally save money net by paying $2 or $3 above minimum wage so that they got the cream of the temporary worker group. Few of them ever believed me enough to try it, but those who did said I was absolutely right.
I have no problem with any of this as long as its voluntary. If they can’t remain competitive at the higher wage rate they’ll quickly be OOB.
Exactly Right!!!

Moo Chuck Moo knows how to make noise they got national attention.
Wonder what size work forrce they have? Sounds like a tight multi-tasking family group where your getting production out of them plus a high per unit pricing. Be very surprized if it was a franchise operation. Doubt if they offer a $2.00 anything maybe a small coffee.
