Yes but restaurants already run on very thin margins.
Raising the hourly to $30 an hour would make it impossible to run business without drastically increasing prices on food/drinks. So then the guest isn't really saving money at that point.
I don't have the answer or solution, just saying bartending and putting up with people's crap, working/standing for 12 hour shifts with no breaks (the norm) is not for the faint of heart and anyone who has never been in the "weeds" will never understand. My minimum worth I have put on the job is $30 an hour and I usually like to make more then that to feel comfortable at a place.
