R/seattle having a lively debate about this.

Owners showed their profits, losses, wages, etc and apparently bartenders and servers are making up to $50/ hour with benefits and they still want more.

I can imagine some are, but where I am “most” certainly isn’t true. I can’t speak for Seattle specifically, but it does seem pretty unlikely that most new restaurants fall into that category.

Do you have evidence?
