Help wanted: Area restaurants looking for help as occupancy limits increase

Dining restrictions will loosen Sunday and area restaurant owners are happy they can serve more people but they now face another problem. They are scrambling to find help.
David Krappa, owner of The Avenue Restaurant & Catering in Wyoming, said increasing indoor dining capacity to 75% will help business after COVID-19 shutdowns and previous occupancy restrictions but he and other small business owners worry about a labor shortage.
“We don’t have the staff like we did prior to COVID to handle it,” Krappa said. “That’s the biggest concern right now.”
Waitresses scurried around serving customers that filled in the busy restaurant on Wyoming Avenue on Friday while bussers cleaned tables for the next guests. Outside the restaurant, hiring signs are on display.
