Sexy Unique Restaurateur Lobbies Against Raising Minimum Wage

Lisa Vanderpump Photo: Noel Vasquez/Getty Images Some fun facts about Lisa Vanderpump: She owns a wine line and a Sexy Unique Restaurant and! She apparently lobbied the West Hollywood City Council against raising the minimum wage to $17.64 an hour, making it the highest in the nation, from $13 to $14 an hour.

“I just implore you to really give this a lot of thought, because I do believe, if we raise the minimum wage now, it’s going to be counterproductive,” she is seen telling the council on Zoom in a news clip from KABC. This perspective is neither sexy nor unique; it is the National Restaurant Association’s view that, given the ongoing pandemic, boosting the federal minimum wage even to $15 an hour would force closures, layoffs, and price spikes. At the same time, restaurateurs nationwide have complained of labor shortages: trouble retaining and attracting staff to work in conditions that put their health at risk, often without benefits, and often for low hourly rates.

Admittedly, I know nothing of the Vanderpump finances, but my suspicion is that, with her Sexy Unique Restaurant and Tom Tom and PUMP serving as Bravo TV plot points, she can probably afford to pay her sexy unique staff more. Anyway, she’s going to have to: The WeHo City Council approved the wage hike in an overnight vote. The ordinance will take effect for hotel workers on January 1 and all other hourly workers on July 1.
