Strategies and Solutions for Restaurants Facing California’s Minimum Wage Increase
In California, AB 1228 is set to raise the minimum wage for quick-service employees with 60 or more units to $20 an hour starting in April. This represents a significant 25 percent increase from the current $16 per hour, indicating a substantial rise in labor costs.
To offset the impending wage hike, one strategy involves leveraging automation technology. R.F. Technologies, Inc. offers innovative solutions such as self-ordering kiosks, reducing the reliance on manual processes and potentially mitigating labor costs.
Did you know that 79% of customers say that they’d prefer to order via kiosks rather than directly through staff when given the option?Furthermore, restaurants can boost staff productivity through cross-training initiatives and efficient order processing methods. By empowering employees to fulfill multiple roles and emphasizing productivity, owners can optimize efficiency while managing labor expenses. While AB 1228 presents challenges for California’s fast-food sector, practical solutions to guide restaurants through these transitions and achieve success in a competitive market environment exist with R.F.
