I understand the restaurant business is a tough business to succeed in, but I wouldn't exactly feel bad for the owner of Catch, Chicago Chophouse, earls, etc if he or she paid their staff higher wages.

Oh obviously, owners would
definitely just take that hair cut
Profits are high at a very select group of restaurants, they could perhaps afford to not pass the cost on to customers but I doubt they would. Most restaurants likely couldn't afford to pay servers a higher wage without passing the cost along in the form of higher prices, either that or less servers which would likely lead to lower service quality.
