When the pandemic first hit, one of the industries most immediately affected was the restaurant industry. Many establishments closed for months, if not longer, sending the industry into a crisis. But now that industry is facing a different crisis: Diner foot traffic is almost a third higher than in pre-pandemic times, yet restaurants can’t find enough workers to serve customers.https://products.gobankingrates.com/pub/84d1cf40-924a-11eb-a8c2-0e0b1012e14d
According to data from the National Restaurant Association, the industry has a shortage of over 1 million workers compared to pre-pandemic times. Yet data from OpenTable shows dining is up 30% from pre-pandemic levels as of September and data from job site Indeed shows job postings in the food industries have increased by 39.9% since February 2020.
