Get ready to pay more for your Grand Slam.
A Florida restaurateur who operates roughly 40 Denny’s locations and
five Hurricane Grill & Wings franchises in Florida, Virginia and
Georgia intends to add a 5 percent surcharge to customers’ bills to
offset costs from ObamaCare beginning in January 2014 when the
Affordable Care Act is fully implemented.
“People are trying to find ways to avoid the penalties and to avoid
having to pay for ObamaCare,” John Metz told FoxNews.com. “Everyone’s
looking for a way to not have to provide insurance for their employees.
It’s essentially a huge tax on all us business people.”
To further offset the costs, Metz, who oversees roughly 1,200
employees as president and CEO of RREMC Restaurants, LLC, said he also
will slash most of the staff's time to fewer than 30 hours per week.
That change will be announced to employees next month, he said.
