California Pizza Huts lay off all delivery drivers ahead of minimum wage increas

Perhaps Yum Brands has the data to back this up, but it seems quite a silly response that feels more political&#x2F;ideological than based on sound economics.<p>BIL was COO of a pizza chain. The cost for a large pizza was around $1.50 - even for pricey toppings and gluten free bread. Labor is cheap at ~60 seconds per pie. Biggest costs was rent. A $5 raise could be absorbed across and then some with a 10¢ increase in price or adding an extra $1 delivery fee.<p>Strategically this makes little sense. A key factor of chain pizza’s business model is convenience &amp; cost rather than quality. When faced with the inconvenience of not having delivery available or the extra cost associated with third party delivery services I wonder how many people will just opt for Dominos, Papa Johns or something else?

&gt; Customers must use third-party apps like DoorDash, GrubHub and Uber Eats for food deliveries at the affected chain restaurants.<p>I don&#x27;t order delivery very often, so I was surprised when the last time I did it, the pizza place that advertised delivery just silently passed the order on to Doordash, with all the downsides of that process (data sharing, increased price, decreased pay for the driver, and generally worse service). Maybe this is just how most places do it now, but I was surprised.<p>I understand that Doordash gives workers the option of being paid minimum wage, but they get money only when the worker is actively making a delivery, so almost by definition that means less than minimum wage in practice. I&#x27;m not sure what the fairest strategy would be, because it&#x27;s not like there are defined shifts for gig workers, but it feels like they could find a better policy than this.

This feels a little short-sighted. Just this year, New York City implemented new minimum payment schedules for &quot;self employed&quot; app delivery drivers, which brings their minimum hourly payment to nearly $30&#x2F;hr.<p>I will strongly suspect that the big centres in california will do likewise, or potentially the state as whole.

Pizza Hut here seems to be on its last legs too...the last time I saw one was at some rest stop on a trip to Arizona...

I find it wild that they&#x27;d rather just hand all that money over to Grubhub.

All the pizza huts by me have switched to carry out&#x2F;delivery only and now they are removing delivery. Pizza hut is a shell of what it once was.

this will be bad for stores doing this, uber eats and door dash choose what they want to take and I have seen many times in my second jobs Sitting job pizzas ordered through those services sit on a shelf for up to and even longer than hour to be picked up. Plus you pay a ridiculous amount of fees to have something delivered through those services.

perhaps Pizza Hut has a product that is total garbage that nobody wants anymore anyway?

I&#x27;m surprised that drivers in California aren&#x27;t already making that much. I don&#x27;t know what delivery drivers make where I&#x27;m at, but I see signs for store clerks paying $18-$20

The thing that won’t happen, happened. Time will tell who is right.

What surprises me is that all states with high minimum wage (CA, WA, OR, etc.) are the ones with the most homelessness; while all others do not have homelessness, drugs, and other sort of problems; or at least, not to the magnitude of high-wages states. Probably because low-wage jobs are necessary for the lower class to find jobs.

<i>&gt; The layoffs come as fast-food workers in California are set to get a pay bump of close to 30% in April as the minimum wages rises from $16 to $20 an hour.</i><p>It&#x27;s not &quot;close to 30%,&quot; it is &quot;exactly 25%.&quot; Whoever wrote that needs to be sent back to middle school remedial math.<p>As if I needed another reason to not eat at pizza hut. This sounds like a cynical ploy to get sub-minimum wage gig economy delivery drivers via third party services that they can then blame when the plan goes pear shaped.
