In-N-Out Increases Prices in California Due to New Minimum Wage Law

Fast-food chain adjusts menu costs following state-mandated wage hike to $20 per hour for large restaurant chains.

In-N-Out's menu prices rose on April 1, the same day California's new minimum wage law took effect.
The starting wage for In-N-Out employees is now $22 to $23 per hour, exceeding the $20 minimum for large chains.
A double-double combo meal costs up to $13.63 in San Francisco, compared to $11.44 in Los Angeles County.
Other fast-food chains like Burger King and Taco Bell also increased prices, with some reporting job cuts.
The law has led to nearly 10,000 job losses in the fast-food industry across California.
