Quick Glance: California: New Minimum Wage Impact on Fast Food Industry
- Most fast food workers in California will earn at least $20 per hour starting Monday, providing more financial stability to the profession and potentially raising prices in the high-cost state.
- The law was supported by the fast food franchise owners' trade association. However, many owners have expressed concerns about the law's impact on their businesses amid California's economic slowdown.
- California has doubled its minimum wage to $16 per hour over the last decade, with data showing increased wages and sustained employment levels.
- The law represents a negotiated compromise between the fast food industry and labor unions, applying to restaurants with limited table service and part of a national chain with at least 60 establishments.

Quick Glance: Panera Bread Exempt from California's $20 Minimum Wage Law After Owner's Donation to Gov. Newsom: Report
- A legislative change in California exempts Panera Bread from the new minimum wage increase for fast-food chains to $20 per hour, as the billionaire owner of several of the chain's locations donated to the governor's campaign, according to reports.
- An unusual carve-out in the Fast Food Accountability and Standards Recovery Act (FAST Act) excludes 'chains that bake bread and sell it as a standalone item,' as reported by Bloomberg News.
- Greg Flynn, a billionaire and CEO of Flynn Restaurant Group, the company that owns about two dozen Panera Bread locations in the state, benefited from this exemption and is a donor to Newsom.
- Panera Bread and similar chains selling bread as a standalone product are exempt from California's new minimum wage increase.
