CLEVELAND — Editor's Note: The above video is from a previously published story
We have seen the ups and downs of the restaurant industry over the past year. Shutting down completely, shifting entirely to take out and other creative means just to keep their businesses afloat, and now- dealing with the unknown of trying to get back to normal.
But we know two thing about this industry; that “normal” for these restaurants is still a ways away, and that they will never give up in trying to provide all of us with memories, full bellies, and dedicated service.
WKYC’s Save our Sauce initiative hopes to continue that mission, and now we’re tackling one of the biggest issues the industry is seeing: a shortage of workers. There are two things that could help solve this problem.
You can donate now to the Ohio Restaurant Relief Fund to keep the lights on. You can click HERE to do that.
Or if you’re looking for work or know someone who is, you can refer this extensive list we’ve put together of restaurants looking for employees. You’ll see the eateries broken down by county, the jobs they’re offering, and how to get in touch. By donating or inquiring about these jobs, we can continue to enjoy Cleveland’s robust restaurant scene, grow it even more, and put food on the table for those who work so hard to put it on ours.
And tune into 3News on Thursday, July 1, as we highlight the successes of the industry, the behind the scenes costs and measures restarants take to stay open, why workers aren't coming back, and what it will take to break even for our local restaurant scene.
