This related to my pet peeves, $15 minimum wage movement. My shop entry level, no experience, $10. Next levels, $15, then $20/hr. Now I have raise the entry level to $15, a 50% increase. Push next levels up accordingly. Labor cost: 30% of sales. So I have to increase prices 20% just to keep...

This make sense due to the "system" that the franchise established, and the "books/records" that franchise demands. An independent business has a good system set-up, can operate with-out current owner, and track records of 5 years of profit, it will be a marketable business as well. We can...
