A recent letter to the editor regarding the proposed $15 minimum wage (“Atwater: $15 wage is good for business,” March 28) compels me to clarify that the writer’s perspective on this issue does not reflect the broader restaurant industry’s views.

Most restaurants strongly oppose a $15 starting wage because it would be unsustainable for our industry to pay such high wages for low-skill, entry-level jobs. Moreover, such a high starting wage would force employers to also increase wages for veteran employees to maintain the pay differentials between newer and more experienced staff. This reality compounds the higher labor costs associated with such a wage mandate.
