Best Answer

Generally due to the cost of living in New York City, fast food places have much higher rent and daily cost, so they have to raise prices of menu items to make up for the cost of living.

Do the local fast foods use local grown foods?

Chain restaurants thrive on consistency so they provide the ingredients through approved food service distributors. Cost is also a major factor and fast food restaurants are not willing to pay more for better ingredients. It's highly unlikely you'll ever find a fast food restaurant that uses locally grown food without advertising it. Individually owned restaurants often use local foods and when they do, they will advertise it because it's a selling point and people are willing to pay more for it.


What would happen to the fast food industry if the minimum wage were raised to 15 an hour?

However, the cost of higher wages would be passed on to customers in the form of higher priced food. Fast food restaurants could lose profits because consumers might switch to other alternatives or perhaps prepare more food at home. For this reason, fast food restaurants fight any attempt by the government to raise the minimum wage.
