Restaurateurs need to think harder. All restaurateurs in a single city and state are faced with the same labour laws, minimum wage and all restaurateurs in a single area are faced with the same cost of real estate and living for their employees. It's a fair playing field. If they can't find employees, they need to pay more. And if they pay them more, they raise prices. And consumers will have to pay them if they want to eat out. And they do. It just takes some actual balls to raise prices. When you hear all the complaining, it's always shit restaurateurs that can't compete on quality or service, so they screw over as many people as they can to attempt to compete on price. At the end of the day, it's a competitive industry and people will find a way to make money.
