Not restaurant specifically, but I suspect the loss of innovation from the general chilling effect is pretty high. When I have trouble researching something, that’s money lost for them in time I am wasting, and potentially worse from the side effects.

Every time an engineer doesn’t look into something at all, because they know odds are good they’re not going to be able to, that’s potentially millions lost.

Yeah imagine a developer not being able to use stackoverflow or one of the many similar sites that just happen to have the bug that they're struggling with. Could cost hours of extra work.
