  Granted, this is in the Bay Area
FYI for those not from the bay area: California mandates that chain restaurants pay at least $20/hour. So $25/hour isn't that much more than entry-level at McDonald's.

But McDonalds doesn’t really offer OT, which is a huge draw. Many fast food workers work multiple jobs because they need the hours for money, and none of their employers give OT regularly.

Working 40 hours at $20/hr = 800/week.

Work 40 hours at $25 and 20 at $37.5 = $1750 which is enough to live in the Bay Area.
