In San Francisco, the minimum wage is $15 per hour. Restaurants that have more than 20 employees

Question:

In San Francisco, the minimum wage is $15 per hour. Restaurants that have more than 20 employees must also provide them with health insurance, paid sick leave, and paid parental leave. In response, some restaurants hire fewer workers and ask customers to pick up their meals from a counter and bus their own dirty dishes. As a news article put it: “Restaurants haven’t developed a way to serve meals with less labor. They’ve gotten customers to do the labor they had been paying employees to do.” One restaurant owner was quoted as saying that to hire workers to perform these tasks, “a $10 hamburger would be a $20 hamburger, and it wouldn’t make sense anymore.”
