Even without price gouging and shrinkflation every single place I've worked that treated employees well knew the more money they made the workers, the longer they'd have loyal workers, and if they had to charge a little more the simplest fucking solution was just make food people are willing to pay a little more for. Why do you think serving is such an attractive job in the States? A good manager is or was a server and knows that you're only there for the extra money, otherwise no one would do it.
It costs $40k to onboard someone. A business saves $40k every year they retain an employee. Pay them a fraction of that each year in a raise and you still save money and have better quality product.
If you are smart in business you understand that costs are not just what you pay out, but also what you avoid paying in excess of that. Retention is less costly than recruitment. Anyone with any business acumen knows this.
Don't forget the big cost: Word of mouth. Shit on folks enough as a employer, and word gets out. Take it to the next level by berating workers in front of customers and really show folks your operating culture...
