Minimum wage rise 'painful', says Hollywood Bowl
The latest increase in the UK's minimum wage is "Quite painful", the boss of Hollywood Bowl has said, and the firm may need to raise prices next year. Stephen Burns told the BBC the rise had provided an "Unexpected hit". His comments came as the UK's largest 10-pin bowling operator reported record revenues for the year to September. The National Living Wage for workers over 23 will increase to £11.44 per hour from April, from £10.42. The rises represent a 9.8% increase for over-23s, and a 12.4% jump for workers aged 21 and 22.
