There are satisfactions far greater than money. There is no price to be paid for joining a group of people who work together and cheer themselves up. This gives an authentic joy that other kinds of things do not.
It is very good that you can see all these things in your work and value them. I studied tourism, and this is an area where human warmth is highly valued. Restoration companies are a symbol of that, of human quality. Getting to a place and sitting down to eat is something that requires a lot of confidence in the place, and in people :-)
