'A devastating financial blow': California's so-called 'draconian' fast-food bill is now law here's why a McDonald's franchisee group says it'll cost small business owners $250K a year (msn.com)

California Governor Gavin Newsom smiled as he delivered the news amid a throng of cheering workers and labor leaders. The Democratic leader had just signed into law a bill to increase wages for fast-food workers across the state.

The new AB 1228 legislation, or the Fast Food Franchisor Responsibility Act, will give fast-food employees in California the highest guaranteed base pay in the industry nationwide.


In addition to the minimum wage increase for fast-food workers, which comes into effect April 1, 2024, the bill also establishes a council that can approve further wage increases in the future.

"The new AB 1228 legislation has been voted into law and will result in a devastating financial blow to California McDonald's franchisees at a projected annual cost of $250,000 per McDonald's restaurant," the NOA said in a memo obtained by Fox Business

The group claims that 95% of the 1,300 McDonald's restaurants in California are locally owned and operated by small business owners.

B 1228 applies to fast-food chains with at least 60 locations nationwide except for those that make and sell their own bread. The bill's landmark change is a minimum wage hike to $20 per hour, almost $5 higher than the Golden State's minimum wage of $15.50.

It would also see the establishment of a Fast Food Council to set wages and make recommendations for working conditions. The council has the power to increase the new minimum wage each year through 2029 up to 3.5% or the average change in the Consumer Price Index for urban wage earners, whichever is lower.

Does In-N-Out make its own bread? That's a weird ass exemption that must benefit some Cali based company.

Forget two teas. Based on the loophole in the OP, sounds like those McDonald's locations need to start baking their own bread.

EDIT: amercer beat me to it.

An establishment that bakes bread for sale on its premises is not considered a fast-food restaurant, the new law states. "This exemption applies only where the establishment produces for sale bread as a stand-alone menu item, and does not apply if the bread is available for sale solely as part of another menu item."

But if you work at Panera Bread or Boudin Bakery, don't expect to benefit from the wage boost.

So they need to add a "carb style double double" to the menu that is just bread.

and they key point here is...why just fast food and not ALL hourly workers?

Seems a dangerous shell game that might ignite the unwashed masses.

(I mean, we know he thinks he is outsourcing/leveraging costs and earnings across multiple states for most of this, but it will still result in higher costs in CA, just like what happened in SEA when they did it here).

Secondary point, why every fast food place in every city?

I may not be the smartest guy when it comes to economics, but I'm thinking that the workers at the local McDs don't need as much money to live as do the ones in one of the booming suburbs of Dallas.

Has he already created a law banning kiosks and apps to order? Or is that next?

incrementalism.

first FF workers

The ALL of them.

All about buying votes to hide that they are causing the inflation that is the underlying issue.

kiosk will not be what they go after. a lot of that is already replaced by phone ordering.

it will be the prep systems/machines once those are pushed out

Have to claim "labor" taxes one way or the other. does not matter if human or machine (to them).

The tiny possibility that may actually benefit?

If the FF joints actually shutting down over this, maybe some of those land manatees will lose some weight.

They won't be able to afford to eat fast food regardless once a burger, fries, and drink cost $20+. Fast food already is about the same cost as eating at a low end restaurant as it is. Now Itl be more than eating out, minus tips.

Side topic, shouldn't tips be made mandatory too?

But are there further details in the bill that requires the bread to be made on site?

Because a lot of places merely bakes a pre-made blob of dough made elsewhere.

Yep. Every initial ground breaking initiative passed by libs is only the beginning step of their long term plot. It's always meant as a stepping stone leading towards socialism, division, and cultural decay.
