Abstract: Fast food—defined as restaurants in which patrons order or select items and pay before eating1—is an integral part of the food sector in Los Angeles. In 2019, fast food employed 4.5 million people nation-wide,2 including nearly 550,000 Californians and 150,000 Angelenos.3 Our previous research found that the restaurant sector made up a tenth of the overall county workforce, and over a third of Los Angeles’s restaurant workers were employed in fast food.
