"it will increase all restaurants' wage costs to the same degree"

In an ideal world full of law abiding citizens, yes.

In practice, restaurants that cheat are going to win.

I live in a country that has a lot of regulations in the hospitality sector and yet the "paid under the table, not officially employed here" phenomenon is everywhere.

Isn't that already the case, though? There's already a minimum wage in the US. The debate is about increasing the minimum wage, not creating one.
