Assuming they can even find someone to fill the position.

I know from traveling around the states there is a significant problem in getting people to work in restaurants as they can just go down the street and get an entry level ‘career’.

Pay them $50/hour and you'll have a line of applicants. Pay them $10 and you'll get crickets. Somewhere in between, you'll get some applicants, but not hundreds. That's what you need to pay them if you want to fill the position.
