In the gastro industry it’s extremely common (at least in my country) to be employed illegally (as in cash in hand directly).

Most restaurants you go to to eat would have to close if they needed to employ their workers legally. Same thing applies to bars and similar venues.

And then there would be much more demand for restaurants, then there is supply, causing the prices to rise until they could afford to pay the workers legally.
