Now I wonder what sort of judgement they could even get? Worker has to come back? Worker has to pay some fraction of the perceived losses of that restaurant? Worker has to pay some fraction of their wages?

I think the most likely judgement would be that the worker has to quit their job at the competing business.

If the employee were compelled to quit, unemployment couldn't go after the worker for the lost job, so they would want to go after McDonald's for 2.5 years of unemployment instead of .5 years for every worker they break.
