Los Angeles

Los Angeles is home to more than 1,500 quick service restaurants. The overwhelming majority of local restaurants are small businesses owned by people of color, women and immigrants. LA restaurants are struggling to absorb the $20/hour minimum wage for fast food workers and rising operating costs. Now, the Los Angeles City Council is considering an unnecessary and duplicative new ordinance that unfairly targets local restaurants – yet again. Workers don’t support it; restaurants and consumers can’t afford it.

Los Angeles Restaurants:

I/we OPPOSE the Costly Restaurant Ordinance. Local restaurant owners are already struggling to adapt to a new, first-in-the-nation state law that imposes significant new costs and burdens on their small businesses. The Ordinance would impose unnecessary and unsustainable new costs on Los Angeles restaurants and minority-owned small businesses — jeopardizing their very existence. It would also increase food costs for Los Angeles residents at a time when families are struggling to make ends meet.
