How a $26 burger becomes $41 at California restaurants

At one San Francisco restaurant, service charges are so astronomical that a burger billed on the menu at $26 will end up costing $41.
But the Black Cat is far from unique in the city. And restaurants there seem to be coming up with every more creative fees to add on, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Charges include 'the cost of doing business' - which most diners would assume would be covered by the main price.
At the Black Cat, a jazz bar and lounge in the Tenderloin district, bosses there add a 20 percent service charge 'to ensure a living wage' and a 10 percent 'SF safety and benefit charge' to its bills - on top of the 8.63 percent sales tax.
It is made clear the service charge is not a tip. Adding the customary 20 percent tip, which bring the restaurant's $26 burger, served without extras such as fries, to $41.24.

I know in SFO we have to pay HCAO (Health Care Accountability Ordinance) costs of $6.75/hour for each employee. So if we pay an employee $20/hour (or $800/40-hour week), then we also have to pay the city an additional $270/week for HCAO. If the employee works> 40 hours/week , then we will have to pay more HCAO too.
The HCAO cost of $6.75/hour is about 33.75% increase from the employee's wage. Hence, the restaurant maybe trying to pass along some of those costs to the consumers.
