This week on Nation's Restaurant News the top story was California’s fast-food wage jump: No laughing matter for consumers. And so it begins. California’s implementation of a landmark increase in minimum wage for fast-food workers from $16 to $20 takes hold today, and it’s far from an April Fools’ jest. This is a long-debated and highly anticipated move against a backdrop of the state's ongoing economic challenges. From Lisa W. Miller & Associates’ proprietary research, the state of California has already been outpacing economic concerns.
In other news, Wingstop Inc. is rolling out its proprietary MyWingstop platform to the domestic system this week, officials said.
“This is something we've invested in over the last three years,” said Michael Skipworth, Wingstop CEO, during an interview last week at the company’s corporate headquarters in Addison, Texas, “and we're really excited about how this is going to be a step forward and really enable us to continue our journey to digitizing every transaction.”
