NY's new $15 minimum wage for fast food workers will impact more than 100 brands doing business in the state. One caveat: They must operate in at least 30 locations nationwide. That suggests only the big guns — like McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts — would be hit with the wage hike when it fully takes effect in 2021. 💰🍔🍟💰🍩 But since many fast food franchises are operated by individuals, that means it will take a toll on small business owners like Laura Jankowski, who owns three Tropical Smoothie Cafe franchises on Long Island. The brand has 16 locations in New York and more than 400 nationwide. "There's not much more wiggle room [to increase prices without losing customers]," she said. "I'm going to have to cut crew."
