Four restaurants closing makes it easier for the other eateries to establish working prices that lead to a profit.
The restaurants in that article closed because of lack of business not because of wages.
The wage of 15 dollars an hour won't happen until 2017 at the earliest and tips are counted as wages so most restaurant employees won't see their wages change. Their tips already bring their wages way above 15 dollars an hour.
The small restaurants that closed wouldn't have seen that 15 dollars an hour until 2018.
That raise in the minimum wage had nothing to do with the closing of those restaurants.
