Hoping to attract more employees, the fast-food chain Chipotle said on Monday it was increasing its wages to an average of $15 an hour by the end of June

Jefferies managing director Andy Barish discusses the state of the restaurant industry, including labor shortages, wage concerns and what companies stand to benefit from current conditions.With more than 39,000 restaurants in 100 countries, McDonald's is one of the largest fast-food franchises in the world. It is also one of the busiest, feeding a whopping 68 million people per day—about 1% of the world's population.

McDonald's has attempted to set up shop in Montpelier before. In 1996, a Montpelier landlord, Jeff Jacobs, applied for a permit to convert a historic bank building into a McDonald's restaurant. Jacobs' request was denied, on the grounds that a Mcdonald's at the proposed location would create traffic problems. Jacobs appealed the decision to Vermont's Supreme Court and initiated an $8 million lawsuit, but neither case made it to court.
