California's minimum wage increase for fast-food workers has led to menu price hikes across the state, with chains like Chipotle, McDonald's, Jack in the Box, and Shake Shack planning to raise prices. This follows a mandated rise in hourly pay to $20 by April, causing a statewide average price increase of 10%, outpacing other regions. Chipotle reported a 6% to 7% price increase at its California locations.

California's new law mandates a $20 minimum wage for fast-food employees at chains with at least 60 locations nationwide, affecting major companies like McDonald's, Starbucks, and Yum! Brands. Since the law's implementation on April 1, many of these companies have seen their stock values drop. Some are considering cutting hours and raising prices, while others explore automation to offset increased labor costs. Casual dining restaurants could benefit from this shift if they manage to maintain their pricing.
