Thanks to the magic of the Gig Economy, those people can still deliver pizzas, but with the added bonus of making much less money and having no benefits!
I don't know the answer to this because people need to be paid enough to live, but fast food before this round of price hikes has already become a bad value relative to higher tiers of food.
Not raising their prices to a level that enables their employees a decent life seems unethical to me. This also reeks of cutting off their nose to spite their face. That is, it's a childish act of retaliation for not getting their way with wages.
Pizza hut (in Canada) is one of the only pizza places I'll order from because they don't use uber and have their own drivers. I'm sure this is inevitable though.
This is unfortunate since Pizza Hut is quite possibly the best pizza available in California. Does anyone from California know why the pizza selection is so awful there?
Is Chick-fil-A going to follow that too? Their in-house delivery staff are the best, Uber eats will just dump my order outside the apartment building and run while the Chicfila staff will walk it to my door and send a photo.
Time to seriously upcharge on those apps. See how inelastic the demand is.
tech has all but made pizza extinct

FTA: "Fast-food chains Chipotle and McDonald’s have already announced they plan to raise menu prices in California to offset the higher cost of worker compensation"
I guess I will refrain from those chains to offset their higher prices. Not even automation seems to help them want to reduce prices. In comparison, In-n-Out had already been paying their employees a higher salary than those chains, but their menu prices aren't as high.
Temper tantrums all because they want to keep wages low while everything else rises.
