Quick Glance: McDonald's owner faces profit loss due to California's $20 minimum wage
  • A McDonald's franchisee in Los Angeles stated she would incur profit losses as prices couldn't be raised enough to offset the new wage.

  • California's minimum wage for fast-food workers is increasing to $20 per hour from April 1, 25% higher than the state's current minimum wage.

  • While price hikes may deter some fast-food customers, it is expected to boost wages for staff in other hourly occupations like retail workers.

  • The new bill applies to limited-service restaurant chains with at least 60 restaurants nationally, affecting both corporate-owned and franchised restaurants.
