It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out in the courts. When my California town considered doing it fifteen years ago, the lawyer’s conclusion was that the city could only set wages for its own employees or dictate wages to those businesses it contracted with. Guess we’ll see if state law has been changed.

IIRC, Long Beach set a higher minimum wage for the workers at the hotels in the resort area of their city. I never thought they would get away with it, but I think they did.

If you want to make REAL money, find out what these people do and design automated systems to augment/replace them, pronto.
