This is a good question. I haven't worked in the industry. I have no idea.

With higher prices for restaurant/café meals?

With less competition?

With lower costs for other inputs?

With greater demand for labour across the economy?

By illegally paying employees below award / not paying superannuation payments?




All of the above (except lower costs, not a thing for anything in Australia).

In particular, in essentially all (non-chain-fast-food) restaurants where you can get a meal for less than $10, nobody is making award rates. If you're lucky the staff is family, if not they're exploiting students or illegal immigrants.
