your math is wrong. if labour is 32% of sales, and minimum wage goes up 32% you would need a 10% (TEN percent) increase in prices to stay whole. Now thats before all of the suppliers increase their products to cover off the minimum wage increases that they are seeing. You will be seeing a large increase at your local pub. People will be upset and not pay it. Bars and restaurants will close left, right, and centre. $15 per hour only helps if you can actually find a job. a lot of people are going to be out of work.
