businessinsider.com/california-fast-food-minimum-wage-order-kiosks-burger-king-popeyes-2024-4
Quick Glance: Major Burger King California Franchisee Introduces Order Kiosks Due to $20 Wage Impact

- Fast-food chains are accelerating the deployment of order kiosks in US locations to cut labor costs, with the introduction becoming more pressing due to California's new $20 minimum wage.
