Peak call times

Weekday lunch runs on downtown and Domain-area tech offices, roughly 11:30am to 1:30pm. The bigger swing comes Thursday through Saturday from 9pm to midnight, when the Rainey Street and Red River bars and live-music venues empty out and everyone starts calling around for late food. During SXSW in March and ACL Fest in October, that late peak climbs even higher.

Local labor market

Texas has no state income tax, which helps take-home pay. The catch is that Austin restaurants recruit from the same entry-level pool as a fast-growing tech sector that pays far more, so service-industry staffing stays tight even as the city keeps growing.
