We only have one location so our overhead is too high. Once we add a couple more locations then we could afford that. We're profitable but not enough to raise wages. I'm not even getting paid from my own startup yet.

This is the California minumum wage, but our location is in fresno which is a lower cost of living than the bay or LA.
At the $3 tip per delivery you cite, that's 133-167 deliveries. It's not improbable that the all-in cost of driving is $1+ per delivery, also tips of more than $20/month are taxed (at the full value of the tips) for both income and payroll tax (unlike, incidentally, mileage reimbursement up to the IRS limit of $0.58/mile which is completely tax free.)

>Gee, I wonder why nobody wants to work for you?
