Still waiting for that answer. A small ma and pa franchise does not have a CEO you dork. Small ma and pa shops do not make a lot of money. You sit and accuse me of hating the poor while you're blatantly attacking small business owners. Sure, my company is a multi-billion dollar company that can afford it. Small business cannot. You sir, you, not me are the one hating the small businesses.
Small businesses concerned over new $20 minimum wage for California fast food workers
His family has owned the restaurant that's made a name for fresh food at fast-food prices for decades. The challenge now, he told CBS13, is competition with fast food chain competitors that are now required to pay their workers at least $20 an hour.
"We already have a problem retaining employees as it is for this line of work. Now it's going to be more difficult. Someone can go to a McDonald's and get paid 20 an hour," Linardos said.
He said California Burgers runs on a "bare bones staff" and the owners do step in to do what jobs are necessary because hiring and retaining employees has become a recent challenge.
"Our margins are already pretty tight. It's not like we can raise prices. Everyone always feels like we're tight on funds, which I understand," Linardos said "Can't really do that. You're pricing people out."
California Burgers is not the only small business looking ahead at the impacts of the new fast food bill.
"Real-world impacts are already being seen across the business model in California. Businesses are potentially looking at reducing hours, laying off employees," said Jeff Hanscom, the vice president of the International Franchise Association.
