Obamacare requires businesses or franchises with more than 50 workers must offer an approved insurance plan or pay a penalty of $2,000 for each full-time worker over 30 workers.
The program mandates that only employees working more than 30 hours a week are covered under their employers health insurance plan, chains like Olive Garden and Red Lobster are already considering reduced worker hours.
'Obviously, I'd love to cover all our employees under that insurance,' said Metz.
'But to pay $5,000 per employee would cost us $175,000 per restaurant and unfortunately, most of our restaurants don't make $175,000 a year. I can't afford it.
this is a charege to customers of say a 15.00 dinner .75cents i think it's not so unreasonable being a former business owner. not defending denny's but wouldn't we pay more than that total to go to the store buy the food, wait in line go home and cook, in time and money .75 cents seems awfully minute. i do be lieve that business's that do this are guaging us like gas stations when ever there is an oil scare. sents they are against it they blame Pres. for costing you .75 cents more for convienience. so he's saying with that.5% extra he can have healthcare for his employees, or will he just pockt it?
