The point of this article is that maybe there’s a different way to run a restaurant. A way where it isn’t whether you’ve got a dud in charge, but where there’s no one in charge — or, rather, no one person. Where, instead of “taking ownership” of their jobs in the jargony, buzzword sense of it, employees literally take ownership.
This is cool, but it still operates as in the sphere of capitalism in the end. It still has to accrue capital, invest, and act in many ways the same as a capitalist company. Only difference is the workers share the capital.
Again, it’s cool, but it doesn’t bring real socialism.
I thought socialism is when workers share the capital?
No. Socialism seeks to abolish capital.

Capitalism is an economic system under which private individuals own and control businesses, property, and capital—the “means of production.”
Socialism describes a variety of economic systems under which the means of production (capital) are owned equally by everyone in society. It doesn’t abolish capital, it abolishes the private ownership of capital, thus abolishing Capitalism.
