Stupidly enough, I believe that paying employees more actually results in higher profits for the company long-term!

If an employee isn’t stressing about making ends meet, and rather can focus on taking pride in their work because they feel respected, then it would show in the presentation of the food, and upkeep of the restaurant.

Cleaner, friendlier restaurants where the food looks (somewhat) like what’s advertised will see an increase in traffic and therefore revenue.
