Maybe one of these days I'll get to a point in my life where I don't have to split my attention so much and work on shit that I truly love.

Don't get me wrong, I will never stop cooking. I love cooking wholeheartedly. But I am getting really sick of the service industry in particular because it is causing me to split my attention too much when I feel like I should be focusing on Building out my fledgling business. Instead, now my entire week is fucked up because a coworker got sick, which I don't blame them for, it is entirely out of their control, I understand Shit happens. But the longer I work for this restaurant, the more they lean on me in situations like this.

I guess it's just frustrating to get a call at 8pm asking if you can come in tomorrow because somebody got sick when you already had a full day of work planned out for other things.

Saying no is always an option, but only you can do it for you. The other side of that is negotiating to get yourself what you require from them to be this available for them (equity, significant raise, additional time off they can't call you in during, overtime at a rate you desire anytime you work someone else's shift/they call you in etc..) be creative and ask for what you require. Worse case scenario they say no, best case scenario you realize your worth and move on to better things.
