Upward of 60 restaurants around the Bay Area have closed since the start of September alone, with many citing difficulties like the cost of finding and keeping good employees, rising rents, new requirements for providing health care and sick leave, and doing it all while competing with the slew of new dining options.

$15 an hour and they are not having the doors broken down by applicants, damn you would think for that much money that they would be able keep good talent.
