In "Billion Dollar Buyer," a CNBC show starring the restauranteur, Fertitta says his businesses have to charge more for the same menu items because San Francisco requires some types of businesses to contribute to their workers' healthcare coverage.

Within the city of San Francisco, restaurants with 20 people or more on the staff excluding the owners and managers must contribute to its employees' healthcare as part of the Healthy SF program. To make up for the extra expense, some add a separate line item charge to patrons' bills, and others roll it into a dish's total cost, but all restaurants under local legislation have a choice as to how they work with the added cost of business.

And while different corners of the restaurant industry here may be struggling with their margins, the industry has managed not to collapse in the decade since they began having to provide health benefits. As the Business Times notes, Fertitta is hoping the president appoints "the right people to the National Labor Relations Board," though he acknowledges that they can't change mandates made by individual cities and states.
