Chick-fil-A restaurant in CA will pay employees $17 an hour

[OnePercenter]

Profit in fast food is huge, they don't have too.

Horse shit. Profit is not "huge". A McD's franchise owner would be thrilled to manage 6%. (4-5% is typical.)

That's net profit. Profit for fast food is anywhere between 30 to 40% same as a typical restaurant.

Net profit is what counts when it comes to keeping the restaurant open and growing, hiring and paying more employees, etc. Basically, you don't have a compelling argument.

My compelling argument is that the fast food industry has lied and a franchisee from Chick-fil-A has called them on it. Good for him!

Net profit is typically only looked at when you're a publicly traded company and you're paying your investors or stockholders based on net profit.

Again..... he just posted that Chic-Fil-A charges higher prices, because they produce a higher quality product. This is undeniably true.

Not all stores make the same amount of money, to pay higher wages. This place did not "call them on it". That's just mythology you made up in your own head.

In fact, not even all Chic-fil-a's make the same amount of money to pay higher wages. You are talking about one store, in the most expensive state in the Union.

Lastly, you are crazy if you think that a business owner does not look at his net profits, when determining what wage to pay employees.

You clearly know nothing about business.

Chick is higher than Canes? Chick receives their food product from a different provider than Canes? Are you sure you want to go there?

 

[Wyatt earp]

No you don't. what we know is one guy is going to try to run a Chic-fil-a paying people $17 dollars an hour.

Give it a year or two to see if it works or not, and this is a specific case, and can't really be applied to other chains automatically.

If "one guy" can do it, why can't all the guys do it? Does he have a magic potion, or does the industry lie about profits?

You desperately want the fast food industry to have massive profits, so desperately that you keep reciting as an article of faith that the entire industry is lying about its profitability (in the face of all the government's auditors and regulations surrounding reporting), all without any corroborating evidence. Basically, you are claiming that the entire finance industry is one massive conspiracy, despite the fact that it cannot long survive on inaccurate or false reporting.

The fact is, the fast food industry as a whole does does not run on high profit margins. Only those who produce a high quality product and thus can charge higher prices are able to generate higher profits. The ones that go for the lowest prices also do not have high profit margins.

More Putin propaganda? All of Corporate America has massive profits. Keeping worker poor propagates Putin's plan to annihilate western culture. That makes you a commie. Ironically, my use of "commie" is the very first time it's been used correctly on the USMB.

The financial industry? Are you sure you want to go there? Need I remind you of the Bush bailouts of 2008?

All of Corporate America has massive profits.

How massive, as a percentage of sales?

You fucking idiot once again over 80% of the business in this country is small...

 

[OnePercenter]

Sure, if you produce a superior product, charge higher prices, and demand better from your employees.

This Little Piggy Went to Market

If you can't, you have no right to be in business. But incompetents can make money by cheating their workers; that's why many are still in business despite the Free Market preachers pretending they can't make it.

How the hell is it cheating their workers to remain in bussiness?

Apparently, it is preferable to go out of business, this ensuring that no one has a job, than to pare the workforce down to the most essential and pay them what their labor is actually worth, and stay in business.

Name one business that has failed due to paying their employees to much.

Plenty ..

Why don't you present the entire story?

he also ignores that most of these chains run on the Franchise model, and the Franchisee's operate on far smaller margins than the parent companies do.

But like a good little socialist, he ignores the people who deserve the profits for the risk they take, and instead want's the government to dictate how they make a living.

He also seems to think that a business owner opens a store and sits back, watching the money roll in. He apparently cannot conceive of the reality that a new business owner will often not even take a salary for a long time until he generates enough revenue to pay himself. During that time, the employees have to be paid regularly, and can end up making more than he does.

Smart business owners:

1) Have sufficient capital. (access to at least five years operating capital)
2) know who to hire. (which can be farmed out)
3) Never, ever, ever hire relatives.

NO business owner makes less than his/her employees.

You are absolutely full of bullshit. Few new enterprises have five years of operating capital, or access to it. Most are deep into debt even after mortgaging their homes and borrowing from friends and relatives. Most will operate in the red for the first couple of years.

It's NOT the company, the company sucks, it's a franchisee. Now we know that fast food can pay a living wage.

We will only know that if they stay in business.

and by paying $17 an hour they will attract harder workers, and will probably fire anyone who doesn't perform and replace with others who can.

Your standard $8.00 an hour get along get along fast food employee won't last here.

It's the publicity numb nuts! The story has gone world wide. This guy has has received millions in advertising by spending peanuts comparable. He's also let the proverbial cat out of the bag. Fast food CAN pay a living wage.

Plenty of sports teams have operated at a loss in the past. What has changed the metrics is today's large TV contracts, and those are all in trouble due to changing metrics in how people watch sports.

My issue is purely economic. How can government mandate people being paid more than the value of their labor without expecting either 1) businesses to close 2)prices to go up or 3) businesses to cut costs via reduction in quality or increases in productivity with parallel reductions on staffing?

No one is owed a living wage if they can't provide value of labor to justify their being employed.

How much do you pay the people that make you all of your money? Seems there is a chick owner that knows.

I don't own a business myself, i work in Engineering, Construction to be exact, and know the basics of economics.

Again, HE HASN'T PROVEN ANYTHING YET!

He started paying $17.00/hr TODAY. The fire storm for livable wages for the middle class has started.

And as I said, that does ZERO to prove that it is a viable business model.

And if the best you can hope for is a $17 an hour fast food job, you are not middle class, and you will never be middle class.

A Chick franchise is over one million. Why would you think this guy doesn't have a viable business plan?

Your saying that $36k per year is NOT middle class?

Not in California it isn't.

Sorry chuckles, I'm a capitalist racketeer.

You are saying that investors should get a bigger chunk than the people that do the work?

It's true. Try proving it's bullshit.

They should get whatever piece they can, because they are the ones taking the risk, not the employee.

The employee earned money is just that, earned and gone. It can't be taken back.

The owners investment can disappear. In most smaller businesses they also do a lot of the management and such, so yes, they deserve more.

Why would a franchisee pay one million plus to make less than the franchisor? That's stupid.

The risk of the business owner is predicated on the skill of said owner. When I start a business, it won't fail.

The franchise fee isn't the end of costs for the franchisee to the franchise owner.
