However... isn't there an expectation that jobs be filled with locals/citizens/inhabitants/residents (I've no idea on NYC nomenclature) BEFORE outsourcing?

They are doing at least two awful things...
1) Avoiding minimum wage laws,
2) off shoring jobs that New Yorkers would work.
The possible 3rd is the tip situation, but I haven't thought that one all the way through to argue.
minimum wage laws,
There's your problem.

So Railroads should be forced to still have cabooses on every train with a person aboard them because they are exploiting their workforce laying off caboose guys through technological advances.
Also, I’m going to generally disagree with your inference that “New Yorkers would work” is largely true.
Minimum wage laws have become silly socialist political footballs.
Capitalism and the free market need bumpers put up but not stupidly high minimum wage levels.
Need a garbage man to service the wealthy City of Cupertino? It’ll cost more to effect than it would in Bunkie. Pass the additional cost on to the Cupertino folks.

I worry about people who cannot fathom basic economics, how supply and demand works, and who pays taxes and fees. I also worry about people who ignore the several examples of how "well" communism and communism lite (socialism) actually work in practice.

LOL.
If you are not worth a 'living wage' don't expect to get one.

Just about every one of you growing up knew neighbors / family that had their manufacturing job outsourced to Mexico/China. There are some genuinely troubling developments in the not so distant future that will be insurmountable for a good chunk of Americans

You are absolutely right.
What you don't understand or you wouldn't have made this statement, is that a single business can't just do whatever they want and survive financially. EVERYTHING in NYC is expensive: rent, utilities, COGS, etc.
Should every retail location get rid of self check out? Should ordering goods online from my computer be illegal and we have to shop in person? Where does it end?
It ends on what the consumer decides. If this works and people use it, it should be allowed. If it doesn't work and they have to bring in local labor to do it, so be it.

Then nobody at the restaurant has a job and we can add them to the SNAP list. Congrats.

Yaso Kitchen is the chain store featured in the photo.
It’s now owned by the London based, British multinational goods conglomerate, Unilever.
Unilever recently purchased the chain from private equity firms Breakaway Ventures and Castanea Partners.

For businesses in NYC that aren't gigantic corporate chains, RENT is the problem, PERIOD.
Whether I could pay a couple of dollars less than current minimum wage would be such a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the outrageously expensive, ballooning rent.
And, just like with the private equity restaurant in the photo, one need only look as far as private equity companies to see the common denominator with rent and offshoring jobs.
