Well that's capitalism. Adapt and grow, or die. OP's business going under is not going to make the demand for beer gardens go away. Someone more efficient will fill it. Labor has been forced to operate under the same rules for decades now. Don't like the minimum wage? Then starve. Or figure out a way to provide more value. A dozen other people will be desperate enough to take it. I've zero sympathy for business owners being held to the same forces.
