Multiple Pizza Hut franchises in California are planning to lay off
delivery drivers as the restaurant chain braces for an increase in the
minimum wage for fast food workers next year.
Several Pizza Hut operators filed notices to comply with the Worker
Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act saying they were
discontinuing their delivery services.
"PacPizza, LLC, operating as Pizza Hut, has made a business decision to
eliminate first-party delivery services and, as a result, the
elimination of all delivery driver positions," a federal WARN Act notice
filed by the fast-food operator with the state's Employment Development
Department said, Business Insider reported.
Another operator, Southern California Pizza Co. also announced layoffs
of around 841 drivers across the state. The moves impact Pizza Hut
locations in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and Ventura
counties.

Many of the franchises will rely on third-party delivery apps like Uber
Eats, GrubHub and DoorDash.
The layoffs announcements came months before most fast food workers in
California will begin earning a minimum wage of $20 per hour, beginning
in April. The increase was proposed as a way to offset the increasing
cost of living for Californians.
One Pizza Hut delivery driver told Business Insider that he was offered
a $400 severance if he stuck around through his February 5 layoff date.
"The money they are giving us as severance pay is a slap on the face,"
he told Insider. "It comes to $3 a month for nine-plus years of
service."
FOX Business has reached out to the Pizza Hut operators, but has not yet
heard back.
