It's complicated. Restaurants aren't super high margin, so if they make less money, they might go out of business. The cost structure might be different in Europe; rents, salaries, and food costs don't have to line up as they do here (in a way that makes it hard to stay in business). I've never really run the numbers but it would seem very Ontario to want restaurants to cost as little as possible. Which then means that they have to get more people in.
I'd be curious. Might be hard info to come by if available at all
