Higher wages a surprising success for Seattle restaurant
By GENE JOHNSON
Associated Press
SEATTLE — Menu
prices are up 21 percent and
you don’t have to tip at Ivar’s
Salmon House on Seattle’s
Lake Union after the restau-
rant decided to institute the
city’s $15-an-hour minimum
wage two years ahead of
schedule.
It is staff, not diners, who
feel the real difference, with
wages as much as 60 percent
higher than before. One wait-
ress is saving for accounting
classes and ¿nding it easier
to take weekend vacations,
while another server is
using the added pay to cover
increased rent.
Seattle’s law, adopted last
year after a strong push from
labor and grassroots activists,
bumped the city’s minimum
wage to $11 beginning
April 1, above Washington
state’s highest-in-the-nation
$9.47. Scheduled increases
that depend on business size
and bene¿ts will bring the
minimum to $15 within four
years for large businesses
and seven years for smaller
ones.
There’s little data yet on
how the law’s working.
“To the extent that we can
look at macro patterns, we’re
not seeing a problem,” said
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray.
As Washington, D.C.,
and other cities consider
following
Seattle,
San
Francisco and Los Angeles
in phasing in a $15-an-hour
minimum wage, Ivar’s
approach, adopted in April,
offers lessons in how some
businesses might adapt.
Ivar’s Seafood Restaurants
President Bob Donegan
decided to raise prices, tell
customers that they don’t
need to tip, and parcel the
added revenue among the
hourly staff.
For some of the restau-
rant’s lesser paid workers
— including bussers and
dishwashers — that’s meant
as much as 60 percent
more. Revenue has soared,
supportive customers are
leaving additional tips even
though they don’t need to,
and servers and bartenders
are on pace to increase their
annual pay by thousands,
with wages for a few of
the
best
compensated
approaching $80,000 a year.
“It’s been a surprise,”
Donegan
said.
“The
customers seem to like it, the
employees seem to like it,
and it seems to be working,
at least in this location.”
Rochelle Hann, 25, is a
second-generation worker at
Ivar’s. Like her mom, she has
performed a variety of roles,
including serving, book-
keeping and even dressing up
as a giant clam. If she keeps
working 30 hours a week, her
annual pay will jump about
$12,000 — money she’s
socking away for accounting
classes at a community
college.
“Before, I felt like it was
maybe not quite paycheck-
to-paycheck, but now I don’t
even have to worry about it,”
she said. “I just went away
for the weekend, and it was
an easy expense.”
Brett
Richards,
a
50-year-old singer and
guitarist, has worked 25
years in food service,
including the past eight at
Ivar’s. Before, he made
minimum wage, plus tips.
Now, he gets $15 an hour,
plus a share of the 21 percent
menu price increase, plus
any additional tips customers
leave. He expects to make
almost $7,000 more this year,
