I measured who actually does the work in my cafe sim and the owner, a cat that dozes at the counter, was grabbing 84% of the cleaning and cooking jobs. The part-timers you pay a wage every day were mostly standing around. In 2.0.11 the order is flipped: staff take a job first and the owner only steps in when the shop is busy.
