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.
