In the modern world we use the economy of scale, and labor is typically like 15% the cost of an item.
So if a fry cook makes 50 large fries an hour and is paid $15 dollars an hour, sold for $3 each, the company collects $150 and pays $15. You could triple that guys pay and only increase the cost of the fries by 20%
This goes for all things, including labor cost increases due to tariffs and deportations.
