Wage inflation.
The economy is overheated; and a strong economy cause wages to rise sharply.
Back when they were pushing to raise wages by government decree, we explained that if the government exercised certain policies, that the economy would grow to the point of not having enough labor and demand for labor would raise the wages.
Now it is up to management to find the peak price/value of its product/service and look for production growth to stay within that target.
For that location, it may be less interior seating and greater drive-thru.
Maybe the management will even offer specials based on slow hours of the operation to balance out customer flow.
