Increasing customer demands wear down restaurant owners, staff
Port Orange restaurant closes for #TimeoutTuesday to give staff a break
PORT ORANGE, Fla. – Staff shortages have restaurant owners pleading for patience and understanding with slower service.
The job website JobList recently released the findings from a poll that showed a third of hospitality workers won’t return to the industry.
“It has become an overwhelming challenge to navigate daily,” said Angelina Stickhouser, who owns Alberto’s Pizza in Port Orange with her husband.
She said the service industry has become an even more stressful work environment since the pandemic.
“We just decided to have a time out on Tuesdays and close down on Tuesdays,” she said.
