What is the ruling on working and on the money earned from a restaurant that sells food and beverages at exorbitant prices exceeding market value, even though customers are aware of this, and there are other restaurants that sell at lower prices but still higher than market value?

There is no harm in working at the restaurant or in the owner's earnings, because there is no limit to unlawful profit that may be exceeded. The matter depends on the mutual consent of the two parties, and as long as customers know the market price, there is no deception or fraud.
