One restaurant that has noticed the short staffing is MasFajitas, a Mexican restaurant in Killeen.
Chris Chavez, a manager at MasFajitas, has been in restaurant management for 15 years and he explained the hiring problem they are facing along with so many other restaurants.
âThis past eight to 10 months has been the most challenging,â Chavez said. âI think the stimulus checks and the extended unemployment has definitely impacted people not necessarily needing or wanting to work as before COVID.â
Chavez added that MasFajitas felt more of the impact earlier in the year and toward the end of 2020, and the situation has gotten better recently.
