Waffle House raises US worker pay to $5.25/hour by 2026, with higher menu prices covering costs.

Waffle House increases US worker pay after a year-long push from labor advocates. Starting June, base pay will rise to at least $3 per hour, gradually increasing to $5.25 per hour by June 2026. Wage increases will be paid for by higher menu prices, with slower wage rises in rural markets compared to urban ones. The company also adds tenure bonuses and premiums for later shifts.
