EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Save Local Restaurants commissioned Oxford Economics to calculate high-level cost estimates relating to a proposed city ordinance that would impose new requirements on fast food restaurants in San Jose. Our analysis identified the total combined cost impacts of the four requirements for all San Jose food restaurants as $163 million to $239 million. This equates to a 42% to 61% increase in labor costs.
