So what you say is either the contractor has to subsidize the restaurant, or coerce employees to do it. Gee, wonder what business contractors are in.

Another question is what business the “restaurant” that can't even hire the cooks is in.

they are saying the contractor should not have accepted the offer, since they cannot fullfill what is asked of them without cutting safety.

That is so easy to say on an online forum, depending on where one is living and people that depend on their income, it isn't always a clear option.

In this case it is a contracting company, not an individual being hired on as a "contractor", who is said to have taken a contract that they could not reasonably fulfill. That is a much less ambiguous situation, and one that seems to be running rampant in businesses these days.
