All restaurants hampered by the higher wage scale in place often understaff and thus the customer is inconvenienced. This new plan, I'm told, should lead to better service through added staff, resulting in a more successful business and better served clientele.

Will that all happen??..........it depends on how good the business is, I guess.
That is true in one sense, added staff, but what happens with increased staff is less tables assigned to a waitperson thus lessening the amount to be made. Some staff that we know from our area restaurants have left because of that reason.
