Will the laws also apply to their robot replacements?

This will lead to fewer hires at fast food chains. All of them are unveiling smaller restaurants with no indoor seating and drive thru/Doordash lanes only. Back to the original McDonald’s “Golden Arches” design.

The fully automated order/pickup in some stores has humans in the kitchen. There is no customer contact with humans. In time, even the food preparation can be mostly automated. Cleaning and restocking of "feed" ingredients will likely remain "human", but the cooking/packaging can be automated as well.

Does not matter to me.
I don't eat fast food garbage anyway.
I guess that makes me a 'food snob' - because I care about my health.
Oh well. So be it.
I'm diabetic - but eating trash would be a bad idea even if I wasn't.

So one industry ends up with new overlords, & then another, & then another & pretty soon you can’t run any business with kowtowing to a bunch of leftist loons.

If a fry cook makes $20/hr then hamburgers would cost $20, right? That’s how it works right? So if we went back to slavery and $0.00/hr then hamburgers would be free?

McDonalds is about 90% finished with laying systems and infrastructure for the foundation of a highly automated business. They have converted to kiosks and iphone apps for automated ordering and auto pay via card or electronic wallet, low level automation for may operations such as soft drink processing. They have had the robots developed for food processing for quite some time. Covid labor shortages have accelerated the process. Unrealistic minimum wages will further accelerate the process.

If the signature drive doesn’t qualify for a referendum and the law moves forward, fast food wages could be raised as high as $22 an hour by the end of 2023. California’s minimum wage for all workers is set to rise to $15.50 an hour starting Sunday.
$45K starting pay for McDonald's?
I suppose the 99-cent menu will soon be replaced with a $9.99 menu in California.

No human interaction. Kiosks, tablets for ordering. Several years ago they announced a hamburger machine, 300 burgers / hour. There are already automated food establishments in San Francisco. Some of them call themselves restaurants, and brag about no staff. There is a pizza place with no visible humans. You can order just a slice, or an entire pizza. You order and pay online or at the tablet. The slice or pizza is eventually
presented for eating without talking to anyone. No one to call in sick, piss off the $customers$ $$$, no one demanding benefits, time off with pay, healthcare, transgender surgery benefits.

IIRC-—NEWSOM declared fast food workers-—all 560,000 of them in Calif needed to make $22 an hour MINIMUM starting wage.

This law amounts to essentially a taking. The business is basically taken over by a new government agency by eminent domain.

AB 257, or the Fast Food Accountability and Standards Recovery Act
State seizure of the rights of business owners and the rights of property owners.
Seized by a state-government-created union (the ten-member so-called “council”), with that union council not elected by the workers, but rather, chosen by the government.
The workers are effectively union members without union membership powers and rights . . . those being dictated to the workers, by the council.
To wit: California nationalizes the fast food industry, removing incentive to exist and increasing regulatory burdens.
