It applies to Franchises.
so McDonalds, which are mostly franchises, are affected even those a lot of them are just one independent operator of one location.
this is a foster’s freeze location, which is a franchise and the brand has more then 60 locations nationwide, and is thus affected.
Sad to see we have people here who just assume business owners are crooked/make loads of easy money and can take a hit on something like that, without having any idea of the reality of how it works.(not you, others who posted here)
an extra 12 dollars a hour for 3 employees at 8 hours a day is an extra 96 a day, not including the increase in payroll taxes.
that’s an extra 3k roughly a month in expenses, and That may have been that businesses’ entire profit for a month. Food does not have as good margins on profit as other industries.
There is a floor on wages. Things could be worse.
