Is this a chain-style restaurant? Fine dining haute cuisine? Fast food?
What happens when they don't want to do the actual work anymore? Do they still keep their partial ownership of the restaurant and hire wagies? What if they can't work anymore? It's not easy to step and fetch for 10 hours a day at age 50. What if they just need to reduce their schedule to 10 hours a week (and not pull their weight)?
What if most people willing to do grunt work also aren't very good at managing a restaurant? At menus, at book keeping? What if people prefer to be served by the cute young things that you tend to see at many chains (even if they're dressed more modestly than those at Hooters)? You know, the same sort of people who are just unlikely to want to become invested in such a place, where they'll be tied down to it?
