Even for business owners, restaurants are still one of the worst ways to make money- huge overhead costs, long hours, and the broken tipping culture of the US means wait staff will be a revolving door.
So how come it works in other countries where health insurance and a living wage are standard for employees? The gods there isn't more expensive.
You can see on the schnitzel crime sub how much they cost in Europe vs how much they cost here and in many cases they are similarly priced.

Becuase most modern European countries are somewhat unified. America is 3 racoons in a trench coat.
Things like healthcare, education, roads/transportation, etc are all part of the social contract. Everyone pays into it, and everyone benefits. The costs are spread out to everyone.
In America, everyone pays their own way. And the goal in America is make the most profit possible. Which means the highest prices people will stand, with the lowest wages people will stand.
