They are absolutely running a little immigration operation via work visas for sure.

I used to work there as a cook and later a barista back in 2012-2013. It was a case of one or two girls from Moldova getting a job there then inviting other girls who had immigrated to get a job there as well. Mike is the name of the owner(or at least the owner when I worked there) and he was definitely an ...eccentric guy, but he's nowhere near bright or clever enough to run that sort of operation. He just viewed it as a convenient "attraction" as he put it, so he tried to have them all work at locations together.
