OK. So the government should pick up the difference with food stamps and housing vouchers, right? You OK with that?

explain how I'm supposed to cook during that drive.
You don't. You pre-make it or and stop for a picnic like people used to do before microwavable food in truck stops and fast food on every corner...

Bingo.
“Restaurant labor” ranges from McDonald’s fry cooks up to wait staff and cooks at high end places like Sullivan’s.
I bet good waiters at places like Sullivan’s who work good tables probably bring home more than my salary after tips. But that is a tip based job and not a salaried job, so it isn’t guaranteed. They have to hustle their asses off.

Oh. How should labor prices be set then?

Diners existed then and the cook wasn’t a HS kid and made enough to live a decent life.

The market.
Imagine being able to buy shite like people could in the 60s before the "great inflation" hit.
Central planning always fails. Artificially high labor means low income Americans are priced out of the market place and cheap foreign labor is used to replace them. Or automation.

I’m saying that restaurants are built on a formula of costs in order to have a menu that people will buy.
X% wages of employees (cooks, waitresses, etc)
Y% for food costs
Z% for building costs (utilities, rent, taxes, etc)
I'm pretty sure all businesses are like that. When they're cost goes up, they gotta jack their prices up. What goes up in price when you get a raise?

Funny how they think these efforts are making living more affordable.
I fully expect fast food and medium priced chains like Outback and Olive Garden to nearly disappear from the landscape in the US. They are overpriced, un-edible and the service is LOUSY. It won't happen because of higher wages it will happen because management has a shitty product that is over priced and they do everything they can to make the experience miserable for customers.

No, they aren't. They are not the best, but their menu is serviceable.

Labor costs, but if you are getting a raise it typically means that you are good enough at your job that productivity is increasing.
Paying someone more because they are worth more is fine.
Paying someone more just because is a waste of resources.

Waffle House is on a severe decline anyway. Most of the interstate exits that had 2-4 now have one only. Many aren't open 24 hours and some are still take out only. They have not, for the most part, been overly profitable for sometime but COVID did them in. They were always way overpriced but they are ridiculously so now, the service has always been questionable but it is horrendous now and the food quality, again, always barely acceptable, is no longer acceptable at all.

the same way basically every price the government doesn't touch gets set.
