SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A San Francisco restaurant chain has agreed to spend $320,000 to settle a complaint alleging it collected a surcharge from customers for the city's health care law but did not use most of the money for its intended purpose, officials said.
Patxi's Chicago Pizza agreed to the settlement after an investigation by the San Francisco city attorney's office and the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement, City Attorney Dennis Herrera said Sunday.
The investigation found that from 2009 to 2011, the chain added a 4 percent "Healthy San Francisco" surcharge to customers' bills at its San Francisco locations. But the bulk of the money didn't go toward Healthy San Francisco, the city's universal health care program, Herrera said.
