Higher wages a success for Seattle restaurant
Ivar's Salmon House in Seattle raised prices 21 percent and eliminated tipping after Seattle adopted a $15 minimum wage ahead of schedule. Wages rose for staff up to 60 percent, with some workers using extra pay for college, rent, and vacations. The city aims for $15 across four to seven years by business size. While data are limited, early signs show higher pay improving earnings for servers and dishwashers, with revenue up and customers tipping more despite no tipping.
