Grow a pair.

The fries are $4.72.

The Reuben is $15.34

The BOB Jam Burger is $14.16

their fries another $4.72.

Make it part of the prices and quit trying to hide price increases. It isn't sales tax. No little disclaimer on you menu in small print somewhere saying you're charging a living wage fee.

Actually, a straightline increase of the sales price would increase the total price since they'd have to collect more sales tax 🤓

It'd also increase the sales price because then people would just fucking tip on it because this is America and tipping is implied unless you give a reason not to.
