The default is locals having the job.
Why should it remain that way?
Because the surplus from this change is going to the owner and not the workers.
It's in NYC, I would not assume the owner is financially stable. Small businesses struggle because of two main costs, rent and labor
Since we're discussing the default, I'd assume average NYC everything. If a restaurant can't afford to pay minimum wage for the area, then I wouldn't assume their business is a good use of space.
