As far as I'm concerned, if a business can't pay minimum wage, then it shouldn't be a business. There's a big difference between "can't" and "don't want to." CEO's of big companies make around $10,000 and hour, assuming they work a forty-hour week, and they complain about paying workers.
The old business model worked for decades. You leave a tip at the end of your meal. The restaurant can't have it both ways paying minimum wages then raising prices to support it and then expecting a tip from the customer.
