High cost of food, labor shutters some Sacramento-area restaurants ahead of new year

SACRAMENTO -- Some Sacramento-area restaurants will not see the new year, shutting down just days before January 1.

Who didn't see that coming? Or this:

SACRAMENTO -- Two Pizza Hut franchise operators with hundreds of stores across California will lay off all delivery drivers in February, according to a report by Business Insider. That's more than 1,200 jobs. 

The publication says it obtained financial filings through federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notices that have not yet been made widely available to the public.
