I love the current fight for $15 for fast food workers. Sorry, it just isn't happening.
Just in wages, it will cost over $130,000 a year to staff a single register at a 24/7 place, such as McDonald's. That doesn't account for taxes, insurance or breaks. It isn't happening. That is why companies are pushing their mobile ordering apps and installing kiosks in the store to order. Huge savings, plus generally a better customer experience. Ignoring employee errors, I believe customers are more willing to customize their order on a kiosk or app versus with a person. I know I am. So between eliminating mistakes in ordering by employees and the ability to customize their order, customers are much happier. Plus they can be as fast or as slow with a kiosk or app as they want.
