Not sure how it is in the US but where I live restaurant owners are wealthy entrepreneurs driving around expensive SUVs. Every sunny day the restaurants and bars are packed from morning until midnight. If they need more staff they have the money to pay better wages. That's how every other industry deals with labour shortages.

In the US restaurants are very cutthroat and what you describe only applies only to the most popular restaurants. It’s trivial to start a restaurant in the US so many people do an fail terribly after a year.

Restaurants are the worst fucking industry to invest in.

Restaurant capital costs, and low margins, guarantee owners would be wealthy and willing to take the risk.

If their risk calculations are off, that's an opportunity for competitors.
