California restaurants are reportedly laying off staff and reducing hours for other team members in an effort to cut costs ahead of a California state law taking effect on April 1 that will raise fast-foot workers’ hourly wage to $20.
In the months leading up to the wage mandate, California eateries, particularly pizza joints, have established a plan to cut jobs, according to state records obtained by The Wall Street Journal.
Pizza Hut and Round Table Pizza — a Menlo Park, Calif.-founded chain of 400 pizza parlors, mostly on the West Coast — have said they plan to lay off around 1,280 delivery drivers this year, according to records that major employers must submit to the state before large layoffs, The Journal reported.
Pizza Hut already sent notices to employees informing them of their last day.

In San Jose, Calif., Brian Hom, the owner of two locations of Vitality Bowls, has dealt with impending increased labor costs by running his Açaí bowl joints with two employees instead of his typical four, according to The Journal.
As a result, it takes longer for customers to receive their order, which has also increased in price by around 10% to offset higher wages.

You laugh, but watch this get blamed on Republicans and white Americans.
Asking for a friend.

American owned? Or Mexican owned?
Robots charge how much an hour?
Drive thru/carry out only.

You vote for the liberals, you lost your job as a direct result. Kindly remember in November how the liberals who “helped” you sent you to the unemployment line.
If you continue to vote for liberals and their feel-good policies that look great until they can’t make simple math agree with their unicorn-kisses policies.
If only we could make math say what we want it to based on our feelings.
And they will hire illegals to replace them. It’s all according to plan
Delivery by drone coming soon.
He knows the consequences all too well. 99% of fast food workers will vote for Newsome because he gave them a raise. 50% of fast food executive will still vote for Newsome because liberal = stupidity. But even if 99% of fast food executives vote against Newsom, there are many more hourly workers than executives, and so Newsome wins 100 votes for every vote he loses. And the fast food industry will continue to contribute to Newsom's campaign, because if they don't, then the next law or regulation could be even worse for the industry.
It’s one of Newton’s Laws: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Biden admin will blast away at big-fast food, big-McDonalds, big-Burger King etc. blah blah blah
Restaurants that serve salmon are particularly hard hit.
Places in Oakland and elsewhere are doing that because of high crime.
So California fast food joints will have worse customer service for more money.
I would encourage the fast food industry to take a stand and
simply close all west coast facilities.
We’ll see how that flies.
Our leaders are totally out of control.
Went to KFC for a piece of chicken this week, a single fried chicken wing was $2.69.
Even here in Woodstock, Georgia there is no line at our McDonalds or Wendy’s drive through at lunchtime. Burger King closed. Chic-fil-A has a doable drive through now, which before had lines out into the street.
I don’t see how these places are staying in business.
