If this Obamacare cost is eating into a restaurant’s profits, I can’t see many options they have. Let’s see:
* Fire some workers
* Make full timers part time
* Pass through the costs to other consumers
Can anyone think of other options?
Go out of business and blame it on the Koch Brothers.
1. Ask server if he/she/it voted for Obama
2. If answer is yes, subtract ACA tax from tip
But just recently, Odip$hit is now forcing companies, under penalty of fines, to not fire anyone due to Odumbocare. So feel free to surcharge away, I guess.
Fold it into your overall costs?
Aside from the owners, how many people on a restaurant payroll do you think actuall receive medical benefits?
[Now, I understand this was a chain restaurant, and therefore, the aggregate number of employees chain-wide may exceed 50 and the ACA will require all FT employees to be covered]
