The amendment provided that the minimum wage for Small Independent Restaurants would gradually increase over the next eight years, until 2027 when the minimum wage for all businesses would be the same. On May 29, 2019, the City Council adopted an amendment to the City’s Minimum Wage Ordinance to add a definition of “Small Independent Restaurants” and establish a different minimum wage of $15 per hour for fiscal year 2019-2020 for those Small Independent Restaurants.
