Over the next few months, the Chicago-based fast food giant will hike pay by an average of 10% for more than 36,500 hourly workers.

McDonald’s isn’t the only company that has announced wage increases this year amid a sudden uptick in demand for restaurant workers. Chipotle announced Monday that it would raise its minimum wage to an average of $15 per hour.

Man come on ..just serve me the Hot Fries !!
