"Sweet Chick, a popular fried chicken restaurant chain, is managing the financial impact of wage increases by reducing maintenance and non-essential costs rather than raising prices. With four locations in New York, the chain's CEO, John Seymour, is focusing on cost-cutting measures like reconsidering table decorations to avoid passing costs onto customers. While acknowledging the challenges, Seymour strives to alleviate financial burdens for customers while ensuring fair wages for staff." - M. Tara Crowl
