Different websites differ on estimated costs, but labor costs INCLUDE management (owners, operators) not just the pot scrubber.  Excluding management, labor costs might be about 20% or less of operating costs.

You can count on the following monthly operating costs for your restaurant.
Rent and utilities (electricity, water, internet, cable, and phone): 5% – 10% of revenue
Food cost: 25% – 40% of food sales.
Labor cost: Roughly 30% of revenue including management salaries of 10%
Insurance varies by provider and type.  
Monthly marketing costs
Miscellaneous expenses like breakage costs
[I had a friend who was opening a high end restaurant. He knew every number for that tier of restaurant in his specific area. Before he even had a location, he knew what he would be paying -- and what menu prices he would need to set -- for everything. He had priced his food sources, table linen services, and everything else.]

Most of the old minimum wage laws where I have lived included EXEMPTIONS for certain categories. Restaurant waitstaff and similar jobs that included tips as a major source of income did not have to be paid the prevailing minimum wage, just something below that. (Made up example: When min wage was $10/hr, waiters in a tip-income restaurant had to be paid only $3/hr by the restaurant and recorded on the books as W2 reportable income with deductions.)

Re: Restaurants operate on pretty thin margins.
Even despite paying their employees very little, it still makes up the biggest business expense. Perhaps the majority of restaurants would go out of business if they were forced to pay their employees a living wage. The only reason why they can exist is because there’s an endless supply of cheap labor. These business models wouldn’t exist if Democrats hadn’t abandoned the working class and given up on raising the minimum wage and then flooded the country with illegals.

Employees are not moochers  

The moochers are the people who are not employed
