We hate to cut back our hours but just can't put that burden on our regular staff.....hoping to get back open in the fall when the enhanced unemployment benefits run out.
Understood--see my posts on kitchen staff compensation in the Summer 2021 labor thread.

I also recognize it's a lot easier opining as an armchair quarterback than actually running the game while 11 guys are trying to pummel you. I admire what you're doing, and I'll be in for breakfast and lunch. Stay strong!
