How a Local Diner Survived the Minimum Wage Hike

In this episode of Small Business Success with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into how a classic small-town diner in Ohio managed to keep its doors open after the state minimum wage jumped to $15 per hour. We break down the specific moves owner Maria Gonzalez made—from redesigning the menu to cutting food waste by 22% and introducing a service charge that customers actually appreciated. Plus, we discuss the broader lesson for any small business facing rising labor costs. No generic advice here—just a real story with real numbers.
